http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Public-Service-is-employer-of-choice/-/539546/2205584/-/h0fsqw/-/index.htmlC&PKenya’s public service has overtaken the private sector as the employer of choice due to hefty salaries and allowances offered by the government, a new study shows.
This has seen professionals quit the private sector to join the civil service, parastatals and constitutional commissions, which offer better pay, says the report by the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (Kippra).
The exodus is fuelled by the string of stipends offered to public service workers, which include housing, medical, transport, entertainment, responsibility, hardship and extraneous allowances.
