County Public Service Board

The Kisii County Public Service Board is a pivotal institution in the governance and management of human resources within Kisii County. Established under the Constitution of Kenya, the Board is responsible for ensuring that the county’s public service is efficient, transparent, and aligned with the principles of good governance.

Vision of the Board

Make Kisii County Public Service Board a world class constitutional body in the provision of nationally competitive human resources that meet the needs of the Kisii County. In exercising our functions as provided for in the constitution it shall not be directed or controlled by any other persons or authority.

Our Priorities

Our immediate priorities will include audit of the current staffing position, harmonizing the pay structure of different cadres of staff in the County, that is, civil service, local government and the water service board. The board will also urgently fill vacant positions in the County Public Service.

In the medium term, we will undertake capacity building exercises for all public servants in the County. In the long term, we will develop an effective succession planning for the County.
