In exceptronal cases where the Board felt that the target audience was at the grassroots and not hkely to read the darly newspapers thrs was augmented wrth announcements and talk shows in some of the local radio stations wrth wide followrng in the County, the County websrte and religrous lnstrtutions . For the senror posihons where issues of lntegnty must come to play, candidates were asked to come with the necessary clearance from Ethrcs and Anti- Comrption Commrssion (EACC), Higher Education Loans Board KRA etc. Posrtrons like those of Chief Officers. Directors and Chref Frnance Officer carry immense responsrbrlrty and should only be occupied by people of outstanding rntegfl ty. The appointments were done on ment. professionalism. gender, mrnolty, disability and regronal balance. The CPSB is mandated to ensure adequate staffing levels in the County Public Service Based on lndents recerved the County Pubhc Servrce Board advertised 66 posrtions for the followrng positions based on the received indents from varrous departments during the year2Ol4 (ANNEX I). Aclrerttsements of positions to be w,deb publictzed The board taced budgetary challenges rn whrch it rvas allocate only Two (2) Mrlhons for advertrsement and hence could not advertrse all vacant posts ln the newspapers as requrred by law. Treasury also issues a crrcular advisrng that all adverts be done through the County Government websrte due to huge debts in procurement adverts. Copres of every advert released have been forwarded to the Assembly wtth a request to the Clerk to produce copies for all the Members of the County Assembly. Copies of the adverts have been sent to the Sub County Admrnistrators with instructions to ensure that they are displayed rn all strategic areas in the County'. Desprte all these attempts to ensure that the posltions are grven adequate publicrty, rt has come to the notice of the Board that some people wrthrn the County have not seen some of the adverts. The board wrll look lnto more innovative methods of ensunng that the adverts get more publicity through other channels including the use of ICT. Posinons for v,hich inten'rctvs have been done Vanous position were successfully flled whrle others are to be re- advertrsed because they did not attract qualified candidates (ANNEX l ). Recruitment of ECDE Teachers The process of recruiting teachers for Early Childhurd Development and Educatron (ECDE) level in the County had started but was stopped by a court order Intervlews had been conducted except phase II shortlists C om nuot ity P o I ic in g Author i4' Twelve ( l2) names were forwarded to the Governor after competrtrve sourclng through rnterviews conducted by the Board There rvas adequate gender and regional representatlon to meet the requrrements of Artrcle 232 of the Constitutron. However when the names were forwarded for vettlng to the County Assembly a petition was rarsed by the pubhc and the exercise was stopped. The Assembly Iater requested for the rvhole process to start agarn Re-adve rtised Pos tttorts The Board has to re-advertlse 48 posts whrch rvere not filled due to lack of attracting qualrfied candidates. Applu'ants u'ho are ruttfront the Counll It is important to have the face of Kenya among the County employees as one way of achieving national unrty. Applrcants who are not from the County have been very few indeed but the board has recrurted those who met the mrnrmum requirements. Thrs indeed rs a key motivational force to ensure that the County should be able to generate its orvn manporver. [t should be self-rehant ln the event that there are skrlls gaps where local personnel are not available and Kenyans from other parts of the Country are not rvilling to take them As one of the prrncrples of the publc servrce under Article 232, therefore, the Board has clearly done all rt can to ensure that the members of all ethnrc groups are reached. Qualrty of course cannot be compromised and affirmatrve actlon has got mrnrmum benchmarks with the key requirement being one's ability to perform Qualjit'atons whrch ctre seen to be too htgh by- the resrdents Complarnts have been rarsed rn vanous forums to the effect that the requlrements set by the Board for various posltlons have been rather hlgh prtched. It is should be noted that requirements for a partlcular posltlon are set by the consumer department It ts however important to recognrze that a strong workforce can only be made up of rndrvrduals wlth the nght competencies cntical of whrch are academic capabrhty. expenence and skills. The County wrll not be dorng itself any good if it recruits a KCSE graduate for a 1ob whrch can only be done by a degree holder who has worked for a mrnrmum of ten years At the level of a Chref Officer for example, one ts supposed to be very conversant wrth several govemment procedures ln transactrng bustness both rn theory and prachce Someone who has Just left college for example may not perform very well rn a senior managenal posrtion for rvhich he rvrll requrre skrlls rn managtng people, work, money, hme, crises etc. It rs therefore standard practrce for some posrtions to only be filled by rndividuals wrth some minimum levels of competence and experiences with specrfic mrnimum levels of academic qualifications. It is noted that there are career progression structures in practically every sector rncludrng the pnvate sector which defrne promotton opportunities on the basrs of what one can do at a certaln level before being promoted to the next. It is further aoknowledged that the people of the county as tax payers are key stakeholders rn available natronal positions which are normally advertised in the natronal papers. The crtizens should be encouraged to apply for the national jobs too C oun4' 66t' n rr-e nl u' e b site The County Govemment webstte has been very lmportant to the board. lt can be used to provide rnformation on rvhat the government ls dorng. rvhat rt intends to do, why rt has not done certatn thrngs and when rt wrll do them. The advertisements whrch are coshng the County Government some millions of shrlhngs has been released through the webslte wlth only short advrsones referrtng the reader to the webslte berng released through the prtnt media at minlmal costs. The board had no optlon but to use the website when funds were not available. Board to marntam re<-ords oJ applu'ants Section 68 of the CGA states Subject to the relevant legislation, the County Public Servrce Board shall, for a specrfied perrod, maintain a record of all applrcations received ln response to advertisements invrhng applications and such record may be inspected by any person. The board has facrlrtated rnspectron ofdocuments by the public Sumnnry of Recrutment ( ANNEX 3 ) The Board has employed a total of 258 employees as indicated bel orv 16th January, 2015 THE KENYA GAZETTE 69 Natives oJTuittt Taveta Counn' Natives of 0ther Countrcs Total Male 82 49 131 Female 78 49 127 Total 160 98 258 Percentages 62 Olo/o 17 qqa I I t I t t I t I i r t I I F l t i I I i i I F t I t I I The board has fully absorbed the Health workers on SEP and RHP as follows OFFICERS ABSORBED THROUGH THE ESP AND RHF PROGRAMME It should be noted that. .

Develop and adhere to Cltrzens Servrce Dehvery Charter. . Develop recrultment and selection pollcy. . Develop trarnrng and development pohcy. . Domesticate and develop officer's code ofethics and integrity. . Develop and rmplement work plans. Strategic plan and Sen'rce Charter The rmportance of havrng shategic plans to gulde strateglc operations of any organrzatron is cannot be overemphasrzed. The County and the Board have developed the documents already. Usrng consultants for the exercrse was an optron but most departments used National Govemment officers Alongsrde the strategic plans rt rs now standard practice to have citizens' service charters to indicate the servrces provrded by the Govemment. These are documents whrch should be produced rn the frrst half of 20 1 5. Performance Contract It is now standard practrce rn Govemment and rn many countnes cross the world to account for the resources and trme one has been allocated to document the achievements after a certain perrod. Performance contractlng rs not new in Kenya and rt has been prachsed over a number of years This is about the principle of accountabrhty rn the public service. Performance contracting in a simplified form to be designed by the County should be introduced Count-t, e stablishment and organrzatrcn of Govemment One great challenge the Board rs facing is that of havrng a clear estabhshment for each department and cumulatively an estabhshment for the County. Sectron 46 of the County Govemments Act. 2Ol2 states that "the County Executive Commlttee shall determrne the organlzatlon of the county and rts vanous departments". Thrs wrll then lead on to each department comlng up wlth rts personnel requrrements The Board should be filhng positions agarnst clear establlshments. Even if the County rntends to use a consultant to do it, this should be done as a matter of urgency. The absorpfion of the casuals can only depend on an estabhshment of the vacant positions to be filled. The new challenge of absorbrng staff carryrng out duties under devolved functlons wrth clear evrdence that some departments may be havrng bloated staff needs to be resolved. The number of persons to be absorbed and the number to be surrendered fbr deployment to other needy countles under devolved functions will only be determined through an agreed establlshment whrch will be guided by an acceptable budget ceilrngs on personal emoluments among other vanables. To thrs end the Board has co-ordinated all departments to come up with organogrames wlth optrmal staffing levels of all carders It has worked wrth CARPS and a final report wrll realize thrs goal Include specrfic recommendatrons that require to be implemented in the promofion and protection oJ the values and principles- The board has issued a clrcular to all professronal staff to ensure that they have the requrslte practicing certificate from their professronal bodies. These specrfic recommendations requrre to be rmplemented in the promotron and protechon of the values and pnncrples. The board has not made any specific decrsions on particulars of persons or public body rvho have violated the values and princrples, rncludrng action taken or recommended agarnst them The county departments have developed their strategrc plans as recommended earlier by the board. The major impediment in the promotion of the values and principles is lack of un bundling of the values and principles. The board has wfltten to transition Authonty to assist in capacity building on the same. Programmes the board rs undertakrng or has planned to undertake in the medrum term towards the promotron of the values and principles. The board has prepared rts strategrc plan. The strategic objective 1.2. To promote and enhance values and principles referred to in Articles l0 and 232 of Constrtution of Kenya, the board strategy ls to create awareness of the same to the pubhc servrce. This wrll be done by developing manuals on Crvrc educatron rn the county and Conduct awareness and sensitization programs on values and pnnciples to County Public service officers. The board wrll also collaborate with other departments in the County Government ln promotion of programs on values and pnncrples to County Public Service officers and prepare and dissemrnate a code of conduct for the officers in the county.

Male and female candidates excellng in different professronal skrlls and capacities. . Technrcal professrons such as accounts, engrneenng and drrving which attracts fewer female apphcants than therr male counterparts. In conclusron the Board envrsages that gender balance rvrll be attarned gradually. However, the Board continues to encourage fenrale apphcants ln the advertlsements for vacancres. Resrdence bt Marriage Vts-A-Vrs Btrth Captunng data of apphcants' especrally female applicants during data entry and short hstrng per Sub-county and wards creates confusion At short hstlng, a candidate's identification documents may rndrcate that she rs from a partrcular County, whereas at the tlme of interview she clanfies that she rs from a drfferent County. Such claims requrre proof such as Affidavrt of Marriage Certrfrcate whrch candidates normally lack Such confusion affects the allocatron of appotntments and balancrng rn the wards and Sub counhes. Reg,ional Balancmg Whereas the board would want to uphold the requrrement of regronal balancrng wrthrn the County, there have been challenges when it comes to meetlng minimum requirements as per the adverltsed vacancies across the county, Sometrmes the Board frnds out that dunng the shortlstrng, there are no apphcants from some regrons ln the Country The board supplements adverts on pnnt medla wlth posters wlthln the County so as to reach a rvtder audtence. Dwerse Communfites Murang'a County ls largely not cosmopohtan. People from other ethnic communities are present in the county mostly as pubhc servants, students or members of the mtnortty bustness communtty and apphcants for various vacancies from diverse communtttes are few. The law requlre that the Dominant Ethnrc Group be 70 percent and non- Dommant Ethnrc Group be 30 per cent accordrng to sectlon 55(l ) (e) of the County Govemments Act, No. l7 of 201 2. However, certain vacancies do not attract applicants from outsrde the Dominant Ethnic Group. The Board has stnved to ensure this through advertisements that persons from other communrtres apply by rndicating at all trmes that Murang'a County rs an equal opportunrty employer Polncal Ent'tronment The Board recognizes the fact that it operates rvrth rn a polrtical environment amongst others. Thrs therefore can affect certarn aspects of recrurtments and selection exerclse and by extensron the board's actrvities. The board however stnves to remain non-poliucal whrle at the same tlme encourage consultation and consensus burldrng rn the discharge of its dutres and delivering on its mandate. Inadequate Infra structure Inadequate rnfrastructure rs strll a challenge rn Murang'a County as a whole and therefore by extenston affects the Board's lntentron to attract compehtrve candrdates and qualified personnel in rts Public Servrce. Some of the nerghborlng Countles are better off when rt comes to rnfrastructure development thereby attracting apphcants due to the same. The Board has noted that even some successful candtdates are strll compelled to seek residence in other Countles due to thrs challenge partrcularly when lt comes to educahonal rnstltutrons, resrdential houses, ICT, medtcal factlrttes and road netrvorks Persons v,ith Disability Advertrsed posrtrons have so far attracted few people hvrng wrth drsabrlrtres The Board ts currently seektng wa1's and means of capturing data on drsabrlrtles among the apphcants; such rnitratrves rnay include requlrements that enable the board to ascertain as at the trme of short hstlng, lnformatlon that can capture Persons Lrvtng wrth Disability Inadequate Fundmg Thrs has posed a challenge in the efficrent dehvery of servtces. Recomntendalrcns to be unplenented m the Prontotron of Values and Printtples The board recommends the following be apphed rn order to make the natronal values and prrnctples of govemance and of public service be adhered to and asslst rn havrng an efficrent and effectrve County PubLc Servtce.

Therr representatron rn terms of ethnrcity and natronal distribution, gender and youth is as here-under: Olfce of the Coutul Seuetdry Sectron 56 of the County Governments Act provides that every county shall, in accordance with Artrcle 235 (l) of the Constitution, have lts own pubhc service headed by the County Secretary. The office of the County Secretary rs established under section 44(1) of the County Govemments Act in respect of each county. The functrons of thrs office are set out ln sectron 44(3) of the Act and are central to the effectrve and efficrent functroning of a county govemment The County Secretary is appornted rn accordance wlth section 44(2) of the Act. Since the constitution of Busia County Government following the general elechons of4th ofMarch 2013, Busia County drd not have a substantive holder of the office of County Secretary. An Interim Secretary held the office pending appotntment of a substantive holder thereof. By a notrce published in The Standard and The Daily Nation Nervspapers of 23rd and 24th 2013 respectively, CPSB rnvrted applicatrons for posltlon to the office of County Secretary for Busia County. Apphcations were received and, on evaluation, were short- listed. Of the short+sted applicants, only one was interviewed and H E the Govemor nominated and submitted her name to the Count_v Assembly for approval before appolntment as requrred by law. Unfortunately, this nomination rarsed quite some controversy both within and outside the County Assembly.
