    "content": "especially in the public service, has been a matter of concern. It has been expressed severally especially in the recent few months. Our Constitution vests the mandate of recruitment of public servants with the PSC. PSC as an independent constitutional commission has got the unfeatured sole responsibility for this recruitment. We are working closely with the PSC to achieve two things primarily. First, to ensure we have a fair allocation of all existing positions across the country, of course, not equally since there are other considerations, for example; population, that have to be factored in. However, to have a formula that is scientific, measurable, visible, coherent, defensible and understandable out there, we give that commitment. I have the commitment of the Chairman of the PSC that that is the risk we owe this country. Second, is on the issue of transparency and visibility. We have a slogan we have given to this using the language of the young people. We are calling it jobo bila connection. It is possible for any young person in this country to aspire to work for any Government department, ministry, state cooperation, university or any other institution in the public sector and have the same opportunity as somebody else. You do not have to be connected to someone. That is why we are coming up with a digital platform where all these jobs will be posted. Even the allocation of those jobs within that platform will be distributed up to the location level. That way, if you come from Ng’enda Location, where I come from, and you try to apply for a job that is for somebody from Uasin Gishu County, you cannot apply because that job will be reserved for somebody from that particular county. That will be audited and verifiable. So, digitization of this recruitment process is key so that anybody can log in and see it publicly that in this location, they got five slots; whether for jobs or for internships. That is why we are saying, for you to access this job digitally, you need an internet connection, not a connection to someone."
