On my Kicker tonight, I reflect on a critical component of our statehood and the backbone of our governance – the civil service – also referred to as the public service.
Earlier this week, I spent a lot of time with former Head of Public Service Francis Muthaura, a career public servant who spent nearly 50 years in the civil service.
Muthaura has just penned his memoirs and joins some of his predecessors such as Duncan Ndegwa and the late Jeremiah Kiereini who have shared their experiences through books.
