Foreign travel for outgoing CSs suspended unless approved by President Ruto
Outgoing
Cabinet Secretaries and their Principal Secretaries are, henceforth, not allowed
to travel outside the country unless their trips are fully sanctioned by
President William Ruto.
This
is according to Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, who said the new
regulation is to allow for a smooth transition from the fourth administration
to the fifth.
Kinyua,
in a circular dated September 19, 2022, said the duties of the CSs and PSs
during the intervening period remain limited to general administration only.
As
such, he stated, the CSs are not allowed to make any appointments to any State
corporation boards.
“Cabinet
Secretaries as authorized officers shall not cause and/or effect any
ministerial redeployments or any new appointments in any ranks within
Ministries and State Departments,” noted Kinyua.
“Ministries,
State Departments, and any State Agencies (MDAs) shall not issue any new policy
pronouncements unless as sanctioned by H.E the President.”
He
added: “Foreign Travel by Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries is
further suspended unless as sanctioned
by the Head of State and Government.”
The
Public Service boss further added that the various ministries and State
agencies will henceforth not make any payments exceeding Ksh.50 million without
approval from the National Treasury.
