President William Ruto of Kenya has been working to address the concerns of the public regarding his leadership, with recent concessions aimed at appeasing dissatisfied Kenyans. One such concession involves public servants who have reached retirement age being required to retire immediately.
However, there is ambiguity surrounding whether this order applies to officers appointed by the President himself, such as Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei, who have also reached retirement age. This has raised questions about the fate of these appointed officials and whether they will be subject to the same retirement directive as other public servants.
The decision by President Ruto to enforce a retirement age for public servants has sparked discussions about transparency and consistency in governance. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the President's concessions will impact high-ranking officials in his administration who are affected by the retirement age policy.
