PSC is expected to recommend persons to be appointed to the President who will then nominate candidates for the posts. The names of the candidates will then be forwarded to the Parliament for approval.

Principal Secretaries are usually involved in the coordination and implementation of government projects in State departments. They also oversee the allocation of resources in the counties.

Currently, there are 44 Principal Secretaries serving in different State departments. Their term is expected to lapse immediately after new ones are appointed by President William Ruto.
