Civil service news and reforms
Civil service matters affect life — from policing and courts to healthcare pay and county budgets. This tag collects news, investigations and updates about public servants and how government systems work. You find stories about judges and tribunals, police corruption claims, cabinet reshuffles, and budget decisions shape services.
Coverage
We cover the court fights and tribunals that test accountability. Recent reporting explains a high-profile judicial hearing where a judge faces harassment claims and a tribunal paused for final arguments. Those stories show how complaints move through judicial oversight, what suspension rules look like, and how evidence and testimony matter in deciding a judge’s fate.
Police, prosecutors and corruption allegations are central to civil service coverage. You’ll read pieces on lawyers who risk threats while exposing alleged police abuse, and how ministers respond when officials are accused. These reports aim to clarify who investigates, what protections witnesses get, and what changes are possible after scandals surface.
Public sector management and budgets shape service delivery. From national cabinet moves that shift deputy ministers to county-level funding decisions in Kenya, we explain the impact. For example, county allocations and extra support funds decide school, health and infrastructure projects. Our stories break down numbers, timelines and what communities stand to gain or lose.
Health workers and front-line staff are part of the civil service picture. Salary surveys and hiring trends matter for nurses, teachers and administrators. We report on expected pay rises and workforce shortfalls so readers can understand recruitment challenges, retention plans, and where pressure on services may build.
We look at administrative barriers that limit citizens’ rights. Recent analysis covers passport rules and how red tape can prevent minorities from travelling. Bureaucracy does not affect everyone equally. Explaining the steps, approvals and delays helps readers see how policy shapes real lives.
