Uasin Gishu Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii Chelilim has announced the promotion of 1,423 staff members, marking the largest one-off staff promotion since 2016.
The Governor noted that for far too long, some deserving county employees had stagnated in the same job groups for over 15 years, with some falling victim to selective and unfair promotion practices.
Speaking during a farewell get-together for 79 staff members proceeding on retirement at the County Headquarters, the Governor emphasized that the promotion exercise aligned with his commitment to staff development and aimed at rectifying past disparities.
He reiterated his administration’s dedication to creating a fair and transparent work environment where hard work and dedication are consistently recognised and rewarded.
“This initiative is about restoring fairness, boosting morale, and maximising productivity within our workforce. We are committed to nurturing a work environment where merit is rewarded and opportunities for growth are accessible to all,” he added.
He also revealed that his administration will allocate additional resources in the coming financial year to support more promotions, ensuring continuous career progression and enhancing service delivery to the people of Uasin Gishu.
