The Kenya School of Government (KSG), in partnership with Public Service Governance (PSG), has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting good governance in the public service. This was highlighted during a multi-agency summit on good governance, peace, security, and human rights, held under the theme “Come, Let’s Reason Together.”

The summit brought together key stakeholders to engage in dialogue on accountability, responsibility, transparency, and effective communication—pillars that form the foundation of a stable and progressive nation.

Speaking on behalf of KSG Director General, Dr. Tom Wanyama, the Acting Senior Director of Finance and Administration at KSG emphasized the need for openness in leadership. He noted that transparency in governance requires leaders to be accountable to the people, adding that KSG plays a crucial role in shaping public servants to uphold these values.

PSG CEO, Ambassador Esther Waringa, called on all stakeholders to fully commit to the principles of good governance. She stressed that a collaborative approach is essential in ensuring that governance structures uphold integrity, foster peace, and protect human rights.

The summit serves as a critical step toward reinforcing ethical leadership and strengthening governance frameworks in Kenya’s public service. It is expected that continued engagements of this nature will contribute to a more accountable and transparent governance system in the country.
