money for every resource committed to the delivery of our programmes.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved

Governments. The promulgation of Kenya’s new Constitution on August, 2010 marked a big change in the

system of Government two a two tier devolved structure. The two tier Governance structure comprises

of National and County Government.

The county government responsibilities and functions are specifically spelt out under the Fourth schedule

of The Constitution.

Since the promulgation of the constitution, several laws on devolution have been enacted including; the

Urban Areas and Cities Act, The County Governments Act, 2012, the Transition to devolved Governments

Act, 2012, The Inter-Government Relations Act,2012 and Public Finance Management Act,2012 and

several others. These laws support implementation and operationalization of devolution.

Kiambu County is one of the 47 counties in the Republic of Kenya. It is located in Central region of the

country and covers a total area of 2,543.5 km2. It has a total population of 1,623,282, based on year 2009

Kenya Population and housing census.

Kiambu County borders Nairobi and Kajiado Counties to the south, Machakos to the East, Murang’a to

the North and North East, Nyandarua to the North West and Nakuru to the west. The County consists of

twelve sub counties namely; Thika, Ruiru, Juja, Kiambu, Kiambaa, Githunguri, Limuru, Lari, Kikuyu,

Kabete, Gatundu North and Gatundu South. There are sixty electoral wards spread across the twelve sub

counties.

In its endeavor to perform the functions, Kiambu County Government has an Administration and Public

service department which is in charge of County public service management. The department comprises

of two sub sections namely; Administration and Public Service. The mandate of the department is purely

to coordinate all County Government activities, implementation and enforcement of County government

policies. The role of the department cuts across other sectors and aims at enhancing the organization and

coordination of county business in regards to planning and human resource management in the Public

Service. The sector also manages intergovernmental relations with other Counties, National Government

and other departments. The department is key in the provision of leadership and policy direction as well

as coordination and implementation of County Government policy for the attainment of County goals,

objectives and Kenya Vision 2030.

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

1.1 STATE OF SERVICE DELIVERY

The services rendered by the department can be classified into three major categories namely; General

guidelines, ensure coordinated bargaining and effective programme management for the establishment

of the integrated public service.

1.2 PERCEPTION BY THE CITIZENS ON SERVICE DELIVERY

Given the teething problems of devolution, the department faces challenges in the face of service

delivery.

Enormous expectations from the members of the public on county government performance, has not

been perfectly met. This has been occasioned by poor citizen participation on various county activities on

development agenda. However the county has put in place a communication system to enhance flow of

information and citizen engagement.

2.6 KENYA’S DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES

2.6.1 Global Challenges

Kenya’s effort to attain a middle class income status by the year 2030 is faced with a mirage of

global economic challenges. Some of these challenges have slowed down the pace of economic

growth that is required to achieve Vision 2030 goals. The challenges have an ultimate effect on

the performance of the counties as part of the larger whole called Kenya. These challenges

include: -

i. Global economic recession, ii. Terrorism,

iii. Unfavourable international trade, iv. Overdependence on primary commodities, v. Low foreign direct investment,

vi. Rising oil prices and inflationary pressure, vii. Dumping of substandard and counterfeit goods,

viii. International crimes i.e. terrorism, drug trafficking and human trafficking. ix. Climate change. x. Alcohol, drugs and substance abuse

xi. High levels of unemployment

2.6.3 Regional Challenges

Kenya is a member of various regional organizations and blocks such as EAC, COMESA, AU and

IGAD. The following are some of the regional development challenges: -

i. Trade barriers and imbalances; ii. Political instability and insecurity;

iii. Refugee problem; iv. Economic and social disparities; v. Slow integration of East Africa Community due to suspicion, disagreement over sharing

of benefits accruing from the integration process, among others; vi. Overlapping membership to various regional economic blocs with competing interests,

vii. Poaching, cattle rustling and proliferation of small arms, viii. Environmental challenges such as; pollution, desertification, land degradation and

deforestation.

2.6.4 National challenges and issues

2.6.4.0 Security challenges

Page 13: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

v. Food insecurity,

vi. Money laundering;

vii. Smuggling and counterfeiting of goods

viii. Proliferation of small arms and light weapons,

ix. Organized criminal gangs and militia,

x. Teething challenges of implementing devolution

2.6.4.1 Governance

The lack of accountable and transparent leadership and weak institutions leads to ineffective

delivery of services and misuse of resources. It may lead to resources being diverted away from

the target areas to non-priority areas. Bad governance result to the following: -

i. Corruption, ii. Impunity, iii. Patronage, iv. Poor implementation of the rule of law, v. Marginalization of some communities, vi. Poor delivery of services, vii. Poor disaster management, preparedness and response.

2.6.4.2 Poverty and inequality

According to the World Bank report of 2013, it is estimated that about 42% of Kenyans live

below the poverty line. There is wide spread gap between the rich and the poor, inequality

between genders and skewed distribution of resources between regions. These factors coupled

with other challenges are inhibiting the pace of development in the county. Devolution was

however mooted to address some of these challenges of skewed distribution of the national

cake.

2.6.4.3 Conflicts

Conflict is a state of disharmony or incompatibility between persons, ideas or interests. Conflict

may lead to: -

i. Displacement of persons (IDPS) ii. Food insecurity,

iii. High levels of poverty, iv. Deaths and destruction of property, infrastructure and environment, v. Economic decline,

vi. Capital flight, vii. Brain drain

2.6.4.4 Social challenges

The following are social challenges that inhibit provision of social protection and achievement of

desired quality of services to the citizens: -

i. Marginalization of the youth, women and other social groups, ii. Rapid population growth,

iii. HIV Aids menace and drugs, alcohol and substance abuse,

Page 14: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

iv. Road carnage, v. Lack of access to education and health,

vi. High infant mortality and morbidity rates, vii. Lack of access to clean and safe environment including water and sanitation.

2.6.4.5 Economic challenges

economic growth and wealth creation, job creation and investment. The challenges are: -

i. Unemployment, ii. High interest rates,

iii. Increasing public debt, iv. High cost of food prices and energy and, v. Budgetary deficits.

The above enumerated challenges will ultimately affect the performance of the County and by

extension the department of Administration and Public Service bearing in mind that the county

is a subset of the nation and challenges experienced at the national level have both direct and

indirect impacts to the counties. The debilitating effects of the have impacted negatively in the

achievement of millennium goals and the national development goals.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0 KENYA’S DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

This strategic plan is aligned to the national agenda as set out in Kenya’s Vision 2030, Medium

Term Plan II 2013-2017, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Jubilee Manifesto.

Kenya’s vision 2030 aspires to transform Kenya into a newly industrialized middle income by

providing high quality life to all citizens by the year 2030. The vision is based on three pillars:

Economic, Social and Political.

The economic pillar aims to improve the prosperity of all Kenyans through an economic

development, covering all the regions of Kenya, and aiming to achieve an average GDP growth

rate of 10% p.a.

The social pillar seeks to provide a just and cohesive society with social equality in a clean and

secure environment.

The political pillar aims to realize a democratic political system founded on issue based politics

that respects the rule of law, and protects the rights and freedoms of every individual in the

society.

In the MTP II, the following are the priority areas to be addressed: full implementation of the

Constitution and devolution, provision of security to all Kenyans, creation of an enabling

environment to investors, promotion of equality and equity, increasing access to basic

amenities, expansion of trade and investment and improvement of political and economic

governance.

The Jubilee manifesto is anchored on the three pillars of economic, unity and transparency

which seeks to improve the livelihoods of Kenyans in the next five years.

The following priority areas in MTP II of the Vision 2030, MDGs and Jubilee Manifesto are critical

for the attainment of the national goals in the intervening period 2013-2017;

The government is committed to a rapid and efficient implementation of the two levels of

Government under which the county governments will assume full responsibilities assigned to

them by the Constitution. Priority at the National level will be given to provision of adequate

finances to match the functions allocated to the counties and capacity for policy making in order

to bring full benefits to the people of Kenya.

3.0.1 Service delivery transformation

The government is committed to building and implementing service delivery systems that will

ensure efficiency, quality service, speed, convenience, dignity in service delivery and global

competitiveness for sustainable development. This will be guided by the principles of the

Page 16: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

observe integrity, principles of human rights and good governance.

3.0.2 International trade and investment

double digit economic growth, trade and investment by maintaining macro-economic stability

and diversification of the economy.

3.0.3 Regional integration

the market for goods and services as well as investment and employment opportunities.

Regional integration with other member states within the region will also help in dealing with

regional security, political and socio-economic challenges. The benefits of regional integration

will be realized in the counties as sources of various resources including human capital.

3.0.4 Security

National security is critical for the attainment of the national development goals. Security will be

addressed in order to provide individual’s safety to Kenyans and the investors. In line with the

Constitution, security regulations and behavior must conform to local and international human

rights standards. Security is a key imperative in the achievements of both national and county

objectives and as such its importance cannot be ignored in the county’s development agenda.

3.0.5 Empowerment of youth, women and the marginalized groups

The government will provide equal opportunities for employment and income generation to the

youth, women and the marginalized groups through affordable credit facilities (Nationally-

Uwezo fund, Youth & Women Enterprise Fund, County wise- Biashara fund, Youth fund etc),

capacity building, supporting sports, creative arts and cultural heritage.

3.0.6 Human Resource Development

In order to achieve the national development goals, the county requirebuilding a productive

human capital through education and ICT supported training for efficient government services

and business. To this end, significant milestones in ICT have been realized in revenue collection

and major steps should be taken in ensuring training and development of county staff for the

government to fully realize their potential. It is important to note that this is one of the key

responsibilities of the department of Administration and Public Service.

3.0.7 Infrastructure

Infrastructure such as roads, ICT, electricity, among others, is one of the key enablers and drivers

of the development agenda. This will be achieved through provision of efficient, accessible and

reliable infrastructure in order to accelerate economic growth, development and poverty

reduction. This will lower the cost of doing business, improve security, improve livelihoods and

increase the country’s competitiveness.

b) Public Relations

c) Human Resource Management

d) Enforcement

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

3.1.2.0 STRENGTHS

3.1.2.1 Public Participation Frame Work

Members of public are being involved in various programmes and activities through various

communication mechanisms such as Public meetings, Community Education Programmes and

citizen forums.

3.1.2.2 Staff in Sub-Counties

The deployment of staff to Sub-counties hasfacilitated work performance in Sub-counties. As a

result public confidence in county public service has greatly improved thus good relationship.

3.1.2.3 Enactment of various County Government Acts

The sector has facilitated enactment of various Laws that has greatly improved service delivery

such as the Kiambu Alcoholic Drink Control Act 2013 which has greatly regulated consumption of

Alcohol and helped to weed out the illicit drinks.

Also enacted is the Kiambu Finance Act 2013which has helped to regulate business and maximize

economic resources utilization.

3.1.2.4 Operationalization of Sub-Counties offices

In the spirit of Devolution the established Sub-county offices have trickled down the most

needed services closer to the citizens.

3.1.2.5 Funding from National Government

The sector has been instrumental in promoting good governance; transparency and

accountability in the public service thus ensuring County funds from the National Government

are efficiently utilized in provision of services required.

3.1.2.6 Skilled Personnel

The sector has been able to tap personnel with different skills on Governance.

3.1.2.7 Team Work

There is willingness to work thus reduction of conflict within the various level of Governance.

3.1.2.8 Favourable Climatic Conditions

The favourable climatic conditions in the County support food production and other agricultural

produces.

3.1.2.9 Favourable Labour Relations

The department has been Able to negotiate compromises with staff with a view to addressing

emerging Hr issues that may lead to industrial unrest thereby minimizing opportunities of work

interruptions

3.2.0 CONSTRAINTS /WEAKNESSES

3.2.1 Unwillingness to change by some of devolved departments.

It has been observed that some departments are reluctant to embrace devolution as a new

phenomenon thus slowing pace of service delivery.

Page 19: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

3.2.2 Lack of functional devolved units in our Sub-counties.

The County Government Act requires County Government to put up structures that support

devolution, that is, establish ward offices.

3.2.3 Lack of harmonized Terms and Condition of services.

This causes anxiety and low staff morale among the county public service.

3.2.4 Weak labour relations

Mechanisms that manage relations between the Staff and the Management are weak.

3.2.5 Lack of performance management system

The system for managing performanceas required by the Constitution for the purpose of

appraising service delivery has not been put in place.

3.2.6 Lack of proper mechanism to control utilization of resources.

3.2.7 Lack of defined communication channels

Within the existing County Structures of governance.

3.2.8 Lack of integrated training policy to enhance skills development among the

County Staff.

3.2.9 Lack of adequate office space especially in the sub-counties.

With new offices and new staff there is a lot of demand for office space which has not

been met due to challenges of resources

3.2.10 Lack of staff rationalization

Rationalization can determine the staffing levels and hence address the issue of ghost

workers or blotted workforce.

3.2.11 Misplacementof priorities

At times what is seen as a priority may not necessarily be a priority.

3.3.0 THREATS

3.3.1 Inadequate support from National Government especially from former Provincial

Administration now restructured into the Ministry of Interior and National Co-ordination.

3.3.2 Political threats:

Members of Parliament and Senators have, of late, been trying to enact laws that

threaten Devolution.

3.3.3 Failure by the County management to adhere to some of the provisions of the Transition

to Devolved Government Act, 2012 as provided by the constitution.

3.3.4 Negative Public perception on operations of the defunct Local Authorities.

3.3.5 Low Staff Morale – This is due to fear ofunknown and anxiety especially staff from the

devolved functions.

Page 20: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

3.3.6 Enormous expectations from members of public. After promulgation of the constitution,

members of public had high expectations on County Governments which superseded the

resources available.

3.3.7 Lack of adequate resources which matches the demand.

3.3.8 Competing interest especially in project identification –

Lack of involvement of the Sub-county officials in C.D.F. board as required by the C.D.F.

Act thus leading to duplication of projects implemented.

3.3.9 Disparity in salary structures between the staff from devolved functions and those from

defunct Local Authorities.

3.3.10 High population growth rate especially in urban areas leads to high production of solid

waste which in turn constrains the resources earmarked for managing environment.

3.40 OPPORTUNITIES 3.4.1 Nearness to the City County of Nairobi that enhances business development and

investment opportunities.

3.4.2 Adequate infrastructure that support movement which spurs economic growth such as

Thika Superhighway.

3.4.3 Potential to exploit I.C.T for the purpose of improving service delivery.

policies.

3.4.6 Operationalization of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005 that enhances

transparency and accountability in procurement process.

3.4.7 Political good will from His Excellency the Governor and the Executive members.

3.4.8 The Constitution ofKenya 2010 and County Government Act 2012 gives wide mandate

and potential areas for resources exploitation and maximization.

4.3 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS

Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to that part of an organization’s activities designed to attract, train, develop and maintain an effective workforce. Some activities and roles undertaken include:

drawing up job descriptions, organizing the process of recruiting and selecting new staff, organize training (e.g. induction training for new staff), arrange and conduct performance appraisal, planning future staffing requirements,

handling grievances, Implementing HRM policy, e.g. equal opportunities (line managers are expected to be aware of

all legal requirements affecting HRM).

It has been discerned that where the County government lay emphasis on building a strong human resource both in terms of skills and capacity, the gains of devolution shall be easily realized and entrenched hence setting a strong foundation for devolution in the country.

4.3.1 The roles of HRM

The Human Resource Management section of the department fulfills the following roles.

The executive role

here, the HRM department is seen as the ‘expert’ in matters relating to Human Resource

Management and makes decisions about what should be done in this area. For example, the HRM

department will ensure that organizational policies are developed in line with legal requirements, will

decide to produce information booklets on training, etc.

The audit role

In this capacity, the HRM department monitors organizational activities to ensure that HRM policies

are being properly implemented by all concerned.

The facilitator role

this role requires the HRM department to facilitate the work of other managers in the organization

and help them to acquire and use the skills, techniques and attitudes that they need to make sure

that HRM policies are implemented throughout the organization. For example, team leaders could be

given training to help them respond to, and deal with, complex relationships between team members

that may involve HRM issues such as grievances, equal opportunities, human resource planning, etc.

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

The consultancy role

in this role, the HRM department provides advice and guidance to managers at all levels on matters

to do with the management of people.

The service role

this requires the HRM department to be the provider of useful information on HRM matters. This is

most important in times of change when the organization needs to make sure that it is up to date

with what is happening, for example with changes in legislation on issues like equal opportunities, or

with developments in HRM practice or 360-degree feedback.

CHAPTER SIX

6.0 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are important aspects in the implementation of the Strategic

Plan. The purpose for monitoring is to ensure that the Strategic Plan is implemented according to

schedule and if there are any deviations, appropriate and timely actions are taken. The

implementation will thus be closely monitored to ensure compliance. Monitoring will be carried out

on a continuous basis while evaluation will be done periodically. Monitoring will involve regular

data collection and analysis on the progress of implementation of the plan. The results from the

analysis will then be used to inform decision-making, including taking corrective action where

deviations in implementation have been noted.

6.1 DATA COLLECTION, ANALYSIS AND REPORTING

The Administrative section will coordinate collection of M&E data on the implementation of the

strategic plan, analyze and report. It will provide technical support and facilitate M&E capacity

building in liaison with other sections/ departments. Monitoring and Evaluation mechanisms will be

institutionalized by establishing a departmental M&E Committee, consisting of all heads of sections

to meet regularly to review the progress of and implementation status of the plan.

Overall, the department will ensure ownership of the Strategic Plan by the staff. The heads of

sections will monitor activities and programmes administered in their respective jurisdictions. The

sections will submit quarterly and annual M&E reports to the County Secretary, who will in turn

submit the same to the CEC for submission to the Executive Committee for discussion, adoption

and direction. The reports will contain information on the performance of the sections, explain any

significant variation in expected performance, discuss challenges and issues encountered, lessons

learnt so far and appropriate recommendations.

6.2 REPORTING FRAMEWORK

The M&E reports will be reviewed regularly against the targeted indicators to measure progress. In

addition, they will be used to prepare the department’s annual report for presentation to the

Governor and the Executive Committee. The Strategic Plan will be evaluated during and after

implementation to gauge the extent of achievement of the intended results. The evaluation will be

carried out using relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and impact measures. A mid-

term review will also be carried out. The implementation and results matrices will help track and

monitor progress in the implementation of the plan.

The performance contracts for the staff will be based on this plan while annual work plans and

Page 44: Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019 ...One of the most celebrated achievements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is ushering in of devolved Governments. The

Administration and Public Service Strategic Plan 2015-2019

performance evaluations will be based on the implementation matrix. The annual budgets will also

be based on and justified against the annual work plans. In addition, the Performance Appraisal

System will be administered in line with this strategy.

6.3 REVIEW AND CONCLUSION The strategic plan shall be continually reviewed to adapt to the changing circumstances and to

ensure that as much as possible, the strategic objectives set out in the plan are implemented.
