Civil servants have been banned by the State from travelling abroad.
This is according to a directive issued by Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.
Kinyua said that only those civil servants cleared by the president shall leave the country on official duty.
“This is to notify you that it has been decided, until further advised otherwise, no government official will travel outside the country without clearance by the president,” Mr Kinyua said in a letter copied to the Director of Immigration Gordon Kihalangwa.
“For avoidance of any doubt, the officials in reference include Cabinet secretaries, principal secretaries and officers in ministries, chief executive officers of parastatals and their officers and Board of Directors of parastatals,” the letter added.
