Kinyua: Public officers risk sack for violating COVID-19 protocols

Accounting officers, parastatal chiefs, and heads face the sack over Covid 19 protocols.

Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua says parastatal officials will be held personally liable if their office premises are not fumigated or their juniors are exposed to Covid-19.

Conversely, once cleared, those who stigmatize them will be prosecuted, Kinyua said. The Government has placed public officers who fail to comply with Covid 19 regulations on notice.

Head of Civil Service Joseph Kinyua said tough circular that Chief officers will face dire consequences over the breach. He said they will be held personally liable for breach of social distancing, face mask administrations among other guidelines.
