We are committed to upholding merit, fairness, and transparency in our Public Service. By firmly embedding these principles into hiring and promotion processes, and rewarding performance and innovation, we will unleash the immense talent and expertise in our workforce.
No nation can rise higher than the collective skills, discipline, and diligence of its people. To fully realise our developmental aspirations, we must make bold, substantial investments in our human capital.
Additionally, in a rapidly evolving global economy, we must be persistently proactive in re-tooling and skilling this workforce to stay ahead. In so doing, we are following the blueprint of nations such as South Korea and Singapore, which placed education at the heart of their economic transformation.
Addressed the National Productivity and Performance Conference, Kenya School of Government in Nairobi.
We are also focusing on specialised training in research, science, and technology. This is a strategic move to train top-notch human capital necessary to power national transformation, drive our productivity, and secure shared prosperity.
