PREAMBLE
The current Code of Regulations was last reviewed in 2006. Since then there have been fundamental changes both in the structure of the Public Service and the management of the Human Resource. These changes include the promulgation of the Constitution and reforms in various aspects of Public Service Management. The changes have necessitated a review and harmonization of the Code of Regulations. In doing so, the Code has been renamed Human Resource Policies and Procedures Manual for the Public Service in tandem with best human resource practices.
The Human Resource Policies and Procedures Manual provides guidelines in the management and development of human resource capacity towards the achievement of various national goals and objectives.
The Manual incorporates provisions of the Constitution, Labour Laws and other Legislation that govern various aspects of industrial relations in the Public Service. The Manual is also anchored on other policies and guidelines governing the management of the Public Service. It provides the basis for human resource policies and regulations in the wider Public Service.
It is important to note that these policies are not exhaustive of all the rules and regulations governing Public Servants in their day to day activities. They should therefore, be read alongside other relevant Statutes, where applicable, for better interpretation and application.
The policies will apply to the National Government and other Government Agencies and will be updated from time to time to reflect policy changes affecting human resource management and development in the Service. The regulations should however, be used as the minimum norms and standards for human resource practice in the Public Service. County Public Services may customize the policies for their operations.
Where clarification on any of these regulations is required, it should be sought from the Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Public Service Commission.
Chairperson,
Public Service Commission,
