The County Public Service Board is established under Section 57 of the County Government Act,
2012. The board is required under Section 59 (5) to prepare regular reports for submission to the
County Assembly. This introduces a new accountability framework on the discharge of the board’s
mandate.
To enhance equity in the employment across all the regions of the county, the board adressed the
issue of diversity in the communities in the public service through implementation of the policy of
equitable regional representation in appointments to reflect the face of the county. The county
population also comprises several communities which need appropriate representation in the
worksforce.
During the year under review, the board implemented various programmes aimed at fulfilling its
mandate for continuous improvement in service delivery and promotion of good governance.
During the year the board received feedback on its services from the citizens through public
participation.
In the discharge of its mandate, the board faced a number of challenges which included lack of
funds, human resources and inadequate office space among others.
The interdiction of the Chairman and the Secretary from 19th March, 2015 through to November
2015 was the most devastating period of the board. However, the court through Cause 5 of 2015
made a comprehensive ruling on the matter. The court reinstated the chairman with effect from
20th November, 2015. It also underscored the independence of the board as enshrined in the
Kenya Consitution and the County Government Act, 2012. It is hoped that henceforth the board
will be in a position to discharge its duties without fear or favour.
I commend the CPSB secretariat for its great contribution to the board’s execution of its mandate.
Further, I wish all the arms of the Embu County Government and its staff a Merry Festive Season
and a fruitful New Year, 2016.
God bless you all.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Board has worked tirelessly to fulfill its mandate in management of Human Capital. This is in
adherence to Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution that requires the CPSB to promote values and
principles as outlined by the constitution. These values and principles are meant to ensure there is
equity and fairness in a competitive environment.
The Board identified the need to replace officers and fill the gaps that arise from time to time. In
order to have good governance of the County Government, recruitment of key staff was of critical
importance to ensure continuous service delivery. As an independent corporate body the board
envisage to have the first Strategic plan fully implemented. Based on the approved organization
structure we shall make our dream come true. In the meantime, we are in process of getting more
space by way of acquiring offices spacious enough to accommodate the secretariat staff.
Despite the above, the Board utilized its members to carry out the recruitment of the key positions
that were required from time to time. This was challenging work that required dedication and I
need to thank the Board members for their determination.
During the year the board experienced various challenges key of them being the interdiction of the
Chairman and the Secretary from the 19th March 2015. The undersigned reported back in mid-
October 2015 while the Chairman resumed duty on court orders after the case cause 5 of 2015 he
had filed was determined on 20th November 2015. It is my belief that those who were left and
whose work is majority of what is reflected in this report, considered the interests of the board than
any other. The judgement made has far reaching effects to the County as it sets critical
precedence which is worth noting and is herein attached for ease of reference.
This is the third annual report that is required to be submitted to the County Assembly every
December persuant to Section 59 of the County Government Act.
May I take this opportunity to also thank all the members of Embu County Government for their
contribution and co-operation towards making the County as the best in the Country..
God Bless you all.

2.4 COMMITTEE ON PROMOTION OF STAFF AND COMPLIANCE WITH
NATIONAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
The Board demonstrated to promote and comply with national values and principles
of Public Service as required by Articles 10 and 232 of the constitution by
undertaking the following mandates;-
2.4.1 Board’s internal operations
From the beginning of this year January 2015 the Board Chairman Mr. Mundia
Geteria never reported for duty until 22nd February, 2015 with no apologies or
communication. The Board felt that chronic absence of the chairman and failure to
offer leadership was derailing its activities.
The Secretary of the Board Mr. Johnson Nyaggah was similarly on sick leave during
the same period and when he reported back he never undertook any activities of the
Board.
The Board members on their mandate had reported the matter to the Executive and
also copied to the Assembly. This led to the suspension of the chairman and the
secretary on 19th March, 2015.
The Assembly administrative Committee of the Assembly invited the whole Board to
shed light on its annual report 2014 which the members had disowned as the
chairman and the secretary had failed to incorporate the views of the members.
After the secretary and the chairman were suspended the Board was able to
contribute on the finalization of the Organization Structure which had pended for long
and delayed the deployment of staff.
28

2.4.2 Appointments
The Directors and Ward Administrators were appointed. In engagement of these
staff, the board adhered to section 65 of the County Government Act. The placement
of the officers on the ground has enhanced service delivery.
2.4.3 Familiarization visit to all departments and Sub-counties
The Board visited all the Sub-counties i.e. Runyenjes, Manyatta, Mbeere
South,Mbeere North and County offices to establish the status and operations in
relation to service delivery.
In performance of its functions the County Public Service Board under section 59
sub-section (4) (1)(e) the board has powers to visit any County Public office or body
with a view to assessing and inspecting the status of compliance with the national
values and principles.
The board under took a visit to all four Sub-counties and offices in the department
from 27th January to 27th March, 2015.
The familiarization visit was informed by the fact that since devolution and
establishment of county, the county staff was drawn from the defunct local Authority,
Civil Service (devolved functions) and Private Sector. There was need to establish
harmony, common direction of operations and service delivery by the staff in the
county.
2.4.4 Public participation workshop on promotion of cohesion in Embu County
A workshop on cohesion was organized by ministry of interior and coordination of
national government, directorate of national cohesion and national values. It was held
on 18th February, 2015 at slopes villa in Embu County. The participants were drawn
from all groups of people;- religious, people with disabilities, business sector, youth
and public service within Embu county.
County Cohesion is simply defined as the sustained state of unity in a county. County
cohesion is a process and an outcome of instilling and enabling all citizens in the
county to have a sense as well as a feeling that they are members of the same
county, engaged in a common enterprise and facing shared challenges. County
cohesion is strongest when everyone in the county has the opportunity, the
resources and the motivation to participate in society as fully as they wish and on an
29

equal basis with others. A lack of county cohesion occurs when people are prevented
from participating in societal activities or feel alienated.
The workshop aimed at promoting the national values and principles as outlined in
the Kenya constitution 2010. The constitution describes us, the people of Kenya, as
people Proud of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, and determined to live in
peace and unity as one indivisible Nation Committed to nurturing and protecting the
well-being of the individual, the family, community and Nation.
The facilitators were from directorate of national cohesion and national values.
They took us through;
 A Cohesive County
 Challenges that Hinder Realization of County Cohesion
 What need to be done to promote cohesion
Creating cohesion in our county is the responsibility of every person; county
government; National government; Community elders; Faith based organizations;
Youth groups and women organizations. There will be plenty in our county to enjoy
when cohesion will be fully realized.
2.4.5 Stakeholders workshops on board’s strategic plan
The board held stakeholders’ workshops across the county at sub county levels from
14th may to 19th may, 2015 to get the views from the public on our strategic plan,
service delivery and programs that would enhance promotion of values and principles
in public service at the county. The data was collected mainly by presentations,
plenary, group discussion and Observation. The workshops were also meant to
sensitize the public on the role of the public service board in relation to good
governance, integrity, transparency, transformation and accountability on public
service.
2.5 COMMITTEE ON RECRUITMENT, SELECTION AND HR AUDIT
The following activities were carried under this committee.
30

2.5.1 General recruitment
The Board was requested by the executive to recruit several positions in an
advertisement made in the Daily Nation. The exercise did not take place due to lack
of Organization Structure and lack of funds which have now been availed.
Pursuant to section 46 of the County Government Act 2012, the County Executive
committee is required to determine the organization of the county.
Hence the positions of Directors and Ward administrators were not filled due to lack
of budgetary allocation and county structure. The Board has since then received
communication from the Executive office confirming the County Organization
Structure and budgetary allocation as per EC/HR/CPSB1/VOL. 1/20 dated 5th March
2015. As a result therefore, among the successive directors and Ward Administrators
were issued with appointment letters requiring them to report to work on 1st April
2015.
2.5.1.1 Ward Administrators
According to the provisions of section 51 of the County Government Act, that creates
office of the Ward Administrator and Articles 176(2) that every County Government
shall decentralize its functions and the provisions of its services to the extent that it is
efficient ad practical to do so, the Board decided to appoint persons in the office of
the Ward Administrators. This was also after a request by the office of the County
Secretary in 2013.
Twenty positions of Ward Administrators were carried in an advertisement 9th August,
2013. The exercise was done and successful candidates selected. However the
Board had put on hold appointment of the successful candidates in the twenty wards
due to lack of budgetary provisions. The office of the county secretary confirmed the
budgetary provision for the salaries of ward administration vide a letter Ref. No.
EC/HR/ CPSB.I.VOL.1/20 dated 5th March, 2015.
31

The following is the list of successful candidates for the positions of ward
administrators.

In the advert of 9th August 2013 Daily Nation, 11 positions for the Directors was
advertised. The Board embarked on their recruitment but had to put the process on
hold after the list of the successful candidates had been concluded. This was after a
communication from the PSC/TA that any placements in the County Government be
done when structure is in place.
Embu County Government structure was completed in March 2015. After
confirmation of budgetary provision for the directors, the Office of the County
Secretary requested the Board to appoint 10 directors from the successful list.

among them would be seconded from the National Government and others be
promoted from the Embu County Government Establishment.

2.6 COMMITTEE ON PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND DISCIPLINE
The reports captured here include;-
2.6.1 Inter County Transfers
The Board has been receiving requests on inter-county transfers by members of staff
of devolved ministries from various counties. In the Kenya Gazette notice N.821 of
7th February 2014 gives clear guidelines for transition of staff to the counties. Item
13 (1) provides that the Transition Authority, in consultation with the Public Service
Commission may facilitate the redeployment of a seconded officer from one county
government to another county government in consultation with the National
Government and the relevant county government.
It is on this basis that the board accepted the following officers transferred from other
counties.

2.6.2 Re-Designation Of Appointed Heads Of Department And Sub-County
Revenue Officers
The board had received communications from the Office of the County Secretary
concerning the designation of the above officers as their titles are not provided in the
payroll systems and scheme of service.
The Head of Departments and Sub-county Revenue Officers appointed by CPSB in
2013 were appointed on functional titles instead of designations provided in the
payroll system and scheme of service.
The above officers were paid house allowance less than the one stipulated in the
SRC Circular guidelines of appointment of staff in the County Government Ref.
SRCTSCGOVT/3/6 dated 29th July 2013.
According to the Capacity Assessment Rationalization Personnel Scheme and the
County Structure, the following job titles should be re-designated as follows:-
Former Job title Right Designation
Principal Finance Officer Director Accounting Services
Head of Human Resource
Manager
Deputy Director Human Resource Management
Officer
Payroll Manager Assistant Director Human Resource Officer
ICT Manager Deputy Director of ICT
Head of Revenue Deputy Director Accounting Services
Sub-county Revenue Officer Assistant Director of Accounting
The affected officers were re-designated and issued with correct job titles.
The Board observed section 69 on re-designation of officers, sub-section 2c and d,
which reads; A public officer shall not be re-designated to hold or act in a public office
if:
55

(c) The decision to re-designate the officer may disadvantage any public officer
already serving in the relevant cadre; or
(d) The officer subject to re-designation has not consented to the re-designation.
The Board adhered to the provisions at article 10 and 232 of the constitution and
section of the county Government Act.
2.63 Nyeri Industrial Court Petition No. 44 Of 2014 Elias Mugendi Njeru & 41
Others – Vs - Embu County Public Service Board & 3 Others
The board members discussed the above mater in reference to County Secretary
letter Ref. EC/CS/PSB/01/97 dated 16th February, 2015 and the letter by R. M. Mugo
& Advocates Ref. No. RMM/ECG/IC-14/14 dated 20th April, 2105 requesting the
board to give consent to the out of court settlement on the above case as per legal
opinion by R. M. Mugo & Co. Advocates in the aforementioned letter.
After considering the legal opinion by the County Lawyer on ratifications that would
affect the Board’s publicity and financial costs to Embu County Government in case
the respondents lost the case, the board resolved to give consent to rescind the
notice of termination of services.
The board members granted the office of the County Secretary authority to rescind in
writing notices of the termination of services of the following

The Board, having deployed new staff to serve in the Secretariat, identified the
urgent need to acquire adequate office space to accommodate the increased number
of staff. This is due to the fact that the Public Service Board is currently
accommodated by the Probation and after – Care Services department and shares
the available space with the Office of H.E. the Deputy Governor, which is inadequate
for the Board members and the deployed Secretariat staff.
The Board embarked in a quest to satisfy the need of office space, and the same is
reflected in a series of letters, dating back to 10th December, 2013
The Board was able to
identify this old Probation
office as an ideal space for
occupation by the
Secretariat. The Vice
Chairperson, in a letter dated
15th January, 2015, (REF:
EC/PSB/ACCO.23/VOL.1/16), wrote to the Sub County Probation Officer, Embu
West, requesting for office accommodation. The Sub County Probation Officer in a
letter dated 19th January, 2015, (REF: PRO/EBU/HO/24/332), considered the
request.
The Sub County Probation Officer, however, notified the Board that the few habitable
rooms were their stores. The few other rooms available were and are still not
habitable, as the roof leaks and the ceilings are pulling down.
Major repairs on the roof of the building need to be undertaken as well as inside the
rooms, walls and ceiling.
The Board was allowed to use the facility, should it find it viable to undertake relevant
repairs to make it habitable, and bearing in mind that the department of Probation
would use the structure in future.
59

2.6.2 Branding Of Public Service Board Offices
The Public Service Board, currently accommodated by Probation and After – Care
Services department, shares the available space with the Office of H.E. the Deputy
Governor.
The Public Service Board experienced challenges due to the lack of a branded sign
board to direct the public to its offices. Visitors often complained of having a hard
time locating the office
The cited challenge
prompted the Board to
have its name branded on
this wall adjacent to the
gate, to make it easier for
the visitors and to also
notify the public of the
location of the office and
the Office of H.E. the
Deputy Governor.
The branding required
copying of the same on the buildings to make it easier for the visitors in identifying
which building accommodates the different offices.
2.6.3 Board’s five year strategic plan
The board’s five year strategic plan 2013-2018 was to be launched in June 2015.
However, this could not happen due to lack of funds. The board’s operations are at
stake due little budgetary allocations for the same.
2.6.4 Board charter
The board charter is complete and has been adopted by members for
implementation.
60

2.6.5 Board Customer Service charter
The board customer service charter is complete and has been adopted by members
for implementation.
2.6.6 Board Logo
The board logo was competitively sourced through local advertisement. We received
five bidders. A taskforce was formed by the board and was tasked with
responsibilities of opening and evaluating the bids. The taskforce comprised of a
technical person, procurement officer (as the secretary) and two board members
where one of them chaired the taskforce. The first three bidders were rewarded
accordingly.
Attached is the logo which the members finally adopted as its board logo.
61

PART 3
3.0: CHALLENGES AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
The board has faced many challenges from time to time some of which can be
highlighted as shown herein below: -
No. Challenges Recommendations
(a) The board is never allocated enough
funds for its operations in the budget.
Most of its planned activities are never
implemented due to lack of funds.
Board should be allocated
enough funds to enable it
implement its activities.
(b) Inadequate office space for board and
secretariat
Have identified old probation
building as the ideal office for
secretariat and waiting for the
formalization and renovations.
(c) Ballooning Wage Bill; - Embu County
was the former Eastern Provincial
Headquarter and inherited large
number of staff this has led to a huge
wage bill.
County Government needs to
come up with a voluntary
retirement scheme that will
entice redundant and
unqualified staff into early
retirement. Rationalization
exercise by the national
