Kenya’s Public Service Commission (PSC) has officially launched a comprehensive review of its internal systems, policies, and practices in partnership with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
The initiative, unveiled at PSC headquarters in Nairobi, is part of a broader effort to strengthen transparency, operational efficiency, and public trust in government institutions.
The review aims to identify gaps in the Commission’s operations and improve service delivery to citizens. It will be independently conducted by the EACC, Kenya’s anti-corruption watchdog, and is grounded in the PSC’s commitment to good governance and continuous improvement.
PSC Chairperson Ambassador Anthony Muchiri said the process is proactive and entirely voluntary.
“We invited the EACC to conduct this review because we want to raise the bar in how we serve the public,” said Amb. Muchiri.
Amb. Muchiri highlighted several integrity-related measures the Commission has already taken, including establishing corruption reporting channels, installing suggestion boxes to collect feedback, and implementing recommendations from a recent internal corruption risk survey.
EACC Vice Chairperson Dr. Monica Muiru praised the PSC’s leadership for taking a bold step toward institutional reform.
“This initiative is a great example of inter-agency cooperation.
It supports our preventive role and aligns with the national agenda for public service reform.
Corruption, even in its most subtle form, can destroy institutions. This review will help close loopholes, build stronger frameworks, and ultimately improve services for Kenyans,” said Dr. Muiru.
The PSC has assured full cooperation with the EACC during the review, with internal teams already in place to support the process.
The results of the review will inform future reforms and strengthen the Commission’s ability to uphold constitutional values and national development goals.
In recent months, the PSC has taken other steps to improve governance, such as directing better oversight of state corporations, elevating the role of internal audits, and conducting staff training on public service ethics.
