Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and the 22 Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) hired 250 personal staff in the financial year ended June 2023, adding to the many jobs that have been dished out by public officers on a non-competitive basis.
A latest report by the Public Service Commission (PSC) said that the 250 were hired as either personal staff or advisors as Mr Gachagua and the CSs settled in office after the 2023 general elections.
Non-competitive recruitment means that the 250 recruits were handpicked as opposed to a fair appointment process where vacancies are publicly advertised and qualified individuals invited to apply for selection on merit.
This came in the period the Commission also said 47 state entities had recruited a total of 1,443 employees on a non-competitive basis.
Treasury in October last year increased the budget of Mr Gachagua’s office by Sh759.4 million to Sh4.29 billion citing the need for “enhancement of operations” and “refurbishment of the boardroom”. The increment was about Sh300 million more than the Sh4 billion allocated to the Office of the President.
The PSC has not given a breakdown of the number of staff that were specifically recruited under Mr Gachagua’s office and those who were hired by the 22 cabinet secretaries who were sworn in on October 27, 2022.
The non-competitive hiring came in the period PSC also disclosed State House had 483 employees who were on payroll but not captured in the staff register— a variance PSC said could create room for “unauthorised” recruitment of staff.
