Elgeyo Marakwet County Draft Discipline Manual Policy (2018)

PREAMBLE
A professional, efficient and effective County public service is the aspiration of many modern states. It enables a County to achieve, with relative ease, the socio-economic progress that is the hallmark of a democratic society. The commitment of employees towards the goals and aspirations of the employer are dependent on how the employees are managed and developed. Central to this theme of people- management is training and capacity building.

The County Public Service Board is conscious that human resource development is a catalyst in management and implementation of change, building learning organizations and creating a culture of performance. Effective training and development benefits both the individual and the County Government through sharing of ideas and dissemination of good practices resulting in efficient and effective performance. This policy is the Board’s commitment to guide the process of handling disciplinary cases in the County Public Service. It defines standard procedures for uniformity in handling disciplinary cases and outlines the steps in disciplinary procedures and processes. Further, the policy provides a framework within which proper framing of charges is done, how cases are investigated, analysis and evaluation of cases, comprehensive recommendation on cases and implementation of decision based on different cases.

Where clarification is required in this policy, it should be sought from the BoardvSecretary/Chief Executive Officer, County Public Service Board.
