Geoffrey Ruku Threatens Action Against Public Servants Absent Before Christmas

During an unannounced visit to government offices in Kajiado County on November 2, Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku found most public servants absent from their workstations. Nearly 90% of those present were interns, while their supervisors and human resource officers were also missing. Ruku said he would discipline two Kajiado officers and take action against other senior staff, citing poor supervision. He reminded public servants that Christmas leave had not begun and that time off must follow approved leave arrangements.
