The Government through the state department for labour and development  has begun a new initiative aimed at enabling state officers to be trained on productivity and output of their services.

Dubbed  as the productivity mainstreaming multiagency which brings together the state department to the cabinet, the Salaries remuneration commission(SRC) and the performance margin  department,they seek to establish and address why the delivery output was going down yet the Government had invested so much in all departments.

Speaking while launching the exercise at the Kiambu National Polytechnic, PS in charge  of the ministry Dr Iddris Salim Dokota said as part of the 20th cycle which is between 2023 and 2024, the participants were required on how to address the question of productivity ,collection of data and also design productivity.

Further they will be required to be champions of productivity mainstreaming and seize the knowledge acquired and transform it into tangible action.

On her Part Jane Maina who represents the programme that will be running for 8 years throughout the country  said they had been tasked to oversee why Kenya was lagging behind  productivity with only 14,000 compared to  South Africa which had 58,000 with Egypt being the main and leading with opportunities of over 62,000.

Maina added that the programme which had a boost from the main head office was aimed at promoting efficiency of goods and services in the country so that proper output could be realised over the same.

They will also be required to value, measure productivity of each organisation so that at the end of the year, they will be able to compute the production of each and every organisation in the country to entrench a culture of productivity.
