Mandate

The mandate of the department is derived from the Constitution of Kenya 2010; article 6 of the Constitution divides Kenya into 47 counties and requires state organs to ensure reasonable access to their service in all parts of the republic. At the same time, article 184 provides for urban areas and cities as unit of decentralization under the counties. Moreover article 176(2) requires county governments to decentralize their functions and the provision of services to the extent that is efficient and practicable. The counties are administratively developed further into sub counties, wards and village units. So far, the Ministry of public service and management serves an estimated population of 1.6 million people in the 9 sub counties namely Sirisia, Kimilili, Kabuchai, Tongaren, Webuye East, Webuye West, Mt Elgon, Bumula and Kanduyi. For effective service delivery, the ministry has 9 sub county administrators, 45 ward administrators, and 256 village administrators yet to be established who work in collaboration with the national government officials in their respective positions.  In pursuance of its mission as contained in the executive order 3 of 2015, the Department of Public Service and Management is mandated to:
