In the performance of its function of promotion of national values and principles of governance in the public service, the board has experienced the following challenges: 5.1 Gender Balance The Board continues to face challenges in attaining gender balance. The current workforce however is skewed towards the female gender. 5.2 Residence by Marriage vis-a-vis Birth Capturing data of applicants’ especially female applicants during data entry and short listing per Sub-county and wards creates confusion. At short listing stage, a candidate’s identification documents may indicate that she is from a particular County, whereas at the time of interview she clarifies that she is from a different County. Such claims require proof such as affidavit of marriage certificate which candidates normally lack. Such confusion affects the allocation of appointments and balancing in the wards and Sub counties. 5.3 Regional Balancing Whereas the board would want to uphold the requirement of regional balancing within the County, there have been challenges when it comes to meeting minimum requirements as per the advertised vacancies across the county. Sometimes the Board finds out that during the shortlisting, there are no applicants from some regions in the County. The board supplements adverts on print media with posters within the County so as to reach a wider audience. 5.4 Diverse Communities Murang’a County is largely not cosmopolitan. People from other ethnic communities in the county mostly as public servants, students or members of the minority business community and applicants for various vacancies from diverse communities are few. The law require that the Dominant Ethnic Group be 70 percent and non- Dominant Ethnic Group be 30 per cent according to section 55 (1) (e) of the County Governments Act, No.17 of 2012. However, certain vacancies do not attract applicants from outside the Dominant Ethnic Group. The Board has strived to ensure this through advertisements that persons from other communities apply by indicating at all times that Murang’a County is an equal opportunity employer. 5.5 Political Environment The Board recognizes the fact that it operates within a political environment amongst others. This therefore can affect certain aspects of recruitments and selection exercise and by extension the board’s activities. The board however strives to remain non-political while at the same time encourages consultation and consensus building in the discharge of its duties and delivering on its mandate. 5.6 Inadequate Infrastructure Inadequate infrastructure is still a challenge in Murang’a County as a whole and therefore by extension affects the Board’s intention to attract competitive candidates and qualified personnel in its Public Service. Some of the neighboring Counties are better off when it comes to infrastructure development thereby attracting applicants due to the same. The Board has noted that even some successful candidates are still compelled to seek residence in other Counties due to this challenge particularly when it comes to educational institutions, residential houses, ICT, medical facilities and road networks. 5.7 Persons with Disability Advertised positions have so far attracted few people living with disabilities. The Board has however gone out of its way to reach out to Persons Living with Disability. 5.8 Inadequate Funding This has posed a challenge in the efficient delivery of services. 6.0 Recommendations to be implemented in the Promotion of Values and Principles The board recommends the following be applied in order to make the national values and principles of governance and of public service be adhered to and assist in having an efficient and effective County Public Service. • Adequate budget provision be done to facilitate promotion of values and principles in public service. THE KENYA GAZETTE 25th January, 2019 186 186 7.0 Conclusion The Board would wish to conclude by assuring all stakeholders that it is committed to ensuring that the National Values and Principles of Governance in the Public Service are adhered to: • Formulating effective measures to promote the values and principles. • Undertaking a vigorous campaign to promote them among the public officers and the general public.
