The Public Service Commission (PSC) has issued a new notice to Kenyans about recruitment and selection for different jobs in government offices.
According to the PSC Citizen Service Charter 2025, released on August 30, the Commission stated that it is committed to carrying out recruitment in a fair, transparent, and professional way.
The Commission, in the Charter, showed that the recruitment of staff at entry level will take up to 90 days after the closing date of the advert.
It also showed that the promotional appointments will be completed within 75 days after the advert closes.
The Commission noted that it will also handle recruitment for constitutional commissions, independent offices, and public universities within set timelines.
For example, recruitment for constitutional commissions and independent offices will take 45 days after the advert closes.
The PSC has also announced that internships will be offered, and the applicants will be considered within 60 days after the closing date of the advert.
In addition, the Commission claimed that it will ensure that applicants are given clear information and that all processes remain free of charge.
Only the required documents, such as application forms and academic certificates, will be needed during the application.
The PSC says that this recruitment notice is part of its mission to ensure efficient, effective, and inclusive service delivery in Kenya’s public service.
The notice also affects interns. The Commission has also been recruiting interns for various positions, with over 5000 interns already contracted this year.
According to the PSC, the internship programmes mostly run for 12 months, with participants expected to receive stipends at a rate determined by the government.
Additionally, at the end of the one-year programmes, participants will be awarded a certificate by the State Department for Housing and Urban Planning.
