Kisii County Service Public Board has begun vetting its health workers with a view to promoting them.
Board chair, Johnstone Ndege, said promotions for the workers would be done on the strength of information they would gather during the interviews.
“I can assure you the process would be above board,” he told HiviSasa.com in his office on Monday.
The month-long exercise would see more than 900 health workers and other employees working in the sector promoted.
He said many of the officers that had stagnated in their stations for more than three months would receive promotions.
“We have begun with common cadres and as I am speaking now, the board has begun doing the interview for the workers. We realised that many of them had stagnated but a delay of the files from the main Nairobi office occasioned the delay in promoting them,” Ndege said.
He said all officers would be subjected to performance appraisals during the vetting.
“In the exercise we would look at service quality as per the scheme to ensure that the workers provide the best services to the county,” Ndege said.
