Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I seek to request a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, regarding mandatory retirement age for public officers. Section 80(1)(a) and (b) of the Public Service Commission Act provides that on attaining the mandatory retirement age, the Commission or other appointing authority shall not extend the service of such retirement age. Recently, a Chief of Bangale Location, Tana North Sub-County, was granted extensions twice by the Commission after attaining the retirement age, denying the acting chief an opportunity to serve or to be promoted. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in November 2020, the Public Service Commission issued a circular dated 19th November 2020 regarding mandatory retirement age for public officers noting that with effect from 1st January 2021, the Commission shall not approve any extension of service for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
