As protesters plan demonstrations across the country tomorrow to mark the 35th Saba Saba day, Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has a warning to public servants.
Ruku speaking in Embu has said July 7 is not a public holiday and state workers who will skip work will be punished.
He cited Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution, which outline the values and principles of public service, stressing the importance of dedication and service to the public.
“Tomorrow is not a public holiday. All public servants are expected to be at their workstations by 8:00 a.m. and remain until 5:00 p.m., as guided by the 2016 Public Service HR policy and manual,” Ruku said.
He said the Ministry will conduct spot checks to ensure compliance.
“I will personally conduct spot checks. Anyone who fails to report to duty will be held accountable. Public service is a calling, and we must deliver on our mandate to serve the citizens,” he said.
