Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, has warned that civil servants who repeatedly fail to meet performance targets will face disciplinary action.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 30, Koskei emphasized that public officers are aware of the rules governing their duties and must comply or face consequences.
"Administratively, the rules are known, and so are the consequences. Disregard of lawful instructions will attract formal reprimand or corrective action. Repeated failure to meet performance targets will trigger structured interventions or sanctions as appropriate," he said.
Koskei also directed all ministries, departments, and agencies to take immediate steps to enforce performance management frameworks.
"All ministries, departments, and agencies are required to cascade the framework, conduct officer briefings, obtain signed acknowledgements, and submit compliance returns within twenty-one days," he added.

This comes two weeks after Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku issued a warning to civil servants who report to work late and those who are always absent during working hours, declaring that they will now be treated as ghost workers.
Speaking on Tuesday, July 15, Ruku stated that habitual lateness and unexplained absences will no longer be tolerated in government offices.
"Everybody working in any government office who doesn't report to work at the required time and those who report to work and later disappear will be treated as ghost workers moving forward," he said.
Ruku also announced immediate measures to identify and deal with those who fail to adhere to proper reporting times.
"Starting today, for those who are late, we are going to get your name, personal number as well as ID number and we will issue a show cause letter of why you are not taking your job seriously," he added.
