Homa Bay staff reject promotion scheme

CIVIL servants from Homa Bay county have rejected the new promotion scheme adopted by the Public Service Commission.
The scheme requires civil servants who have acquired new qualifications to prove that they merit a higher grade.
It bases promotion on workers' productivity and experience rather than the academic qualifications.
County union executive secretary Chora Midumbi termed it a government plan to oppress civil servants.
Speaking on Monday in Homa Bay town, Midumbi said the civil servants rejected the new scheme on the grounds that it lacked a common point of reference for promoting civil servants.
“We foresee a situation where a person with a diploma is going to be made the boss of people with Master's degrees or even PhDs,” he said.
Midumbi urged Kenya Union of Civil Servants to file a court petition against the new rules.
