What you need to know:

  • PSC says the commission followed due process in establishing the office, including inviting views from the public.
  • On Wednesday, the Employment and Labour Relations Court suspended plans by PSC to create the positions.
  • LSK says in its petition that plans to establish the office of the CAS are likely to cause financial strain on many Kenyans as they will be forced to cater for extra wages for jobs that can be done by principal secretaries.

The Public Service Commission (PSC) has defended its decision to advertise for the positions of chief administrative secretaries, days after the Employment court suspended the establishment of the office.

PSC Secretary Simon Rotich, in a reply to a case filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), says the commission followed due process in establishing the office, including inviting views from the public.
