President Uhuru Kenyatta has reportedly recruited 45 people to the Presidential Delivery Unit (PDU) in the last two weeks.
This is part of the president’s efforts to build his legacy which is premised on his “Big Four Agenda” namely; universal healthcare, manufacturing, food security and affordable housing, The Star reports.
“PDU is directly under the Head of Staff Nzioka Waita and I can’t comment on it,” acting State House spokesperson Kanze Dena told The Star.
Among the new recruits are former National Environment Management Authority (Nema) board member Patrick Ngatia, former NTV business reporter Laban Onserio, former Kasipul Kapondo MP Silvanus Onyango and Citizen TV business reporter Mumbi Warui.
Others include former Buuri MP Boniface Kinoti, politician Michael Rotich and former Royal Media Services managing editor Nixon Ng’ang’a.
“These are presidential appointments and the person to respond is Kanze Dena and the Head of the President’s Delivery Unit, Nzioka Waita,” PDU head Andrew Wakahiu told The Star.
The new recruits will serve for a period of three years and are expected to help the President deliver on the Big Four plan, boost service delivery in the public sector and deliver on the fight against corruption.
“The contracts of most of the people who joined the government when Uhuru was elected in 2013 are supposed to have ended. Some have been renewed, others are waiting for gratuity, while others might be reappointed,” the source said
“Its mandated to improve the coordination of national government flagship programmes, monitor, evaluate and report on and the timely fulfillment of Uhuru’s key development priorities,” an insider said.
