Job Description

Heads of Human Resource departments in state agencies have been challenged to play a leading role in ensuring that National Values and Principles of Public Service are entrenched in service delivery across government.

Speaking during the opening session of a five-day training workshop for heads of Human Resource at Lake Naivasha Resort in Naivasha on Monday, 3 August 2026, a commissioner in the Public Service Commission Dr Francis Owino noted that Human Resource leaders are responsible for embedding values-based leadership in public institutions by ensuring that recruitment, performance management, promotions and employee development are aligned with the Constitution and the principles of good governance.

Commissioner Owino observed that while public institutions have made commendable progress in strengthening compliance with constitutional requirements, greater emphasis should now be placed on improving productivity, efficiency and responsiveness to citizens’ needs.

He underscored the importance of continuous capacity building for Human Resource practitioners, noting that equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills would enhance their capacity to guide institutions in implementing the National Values and Principles of Governance under Article 10 and the Values and Principles of Public Service under Article 232 of the Constitution.

The training workshop provided a platform for participants to exchange experiences, share best practices and develop practical strategies for strengthening ethical leadership, accountability and professionalism across the public service.

In attendance were Heads of Human Resource from Ministries, Departments and Agencies. The programme is expected to strengthen institutional capacity to promote compliance with constitutional values and principles while fostering a productive, efficient and citizen-centred public service.

The opening session was also attended by commissioners Boya Molu and Dr. Irene Asienga, alongside senior officials of the Commission.
