Phyllis Ouko camps in office, defies eviction order at Harambee house

A career civil servant in the office of the President has spent the last three nights in her office at Harambee House to guard against the demolition of her office to make way for renovations. Phyllis Anyango Ouko, who occupies the office of secretary, administration in the Ministry of Interior, has resisted her relocation from the first floor to the eighth floor on grounds of accessibility. Phyllis, who utilises a wheelchair, says she would be stranded should the lifts be grounded for servicing, or in the case of a malfunction, power failure, or even an emergency. She says her pleas to the head of public service, Felix Koskei, for consideration have fallen on deaf ears.
