The Azimio Party has warned President Ruto against any plans to retrench public servants. This warning comes after rumors that the government might be planning to cut down on the number of civil servants to reduce the wage bill.
According to National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, any attempt to reduce the workforce would have a devastating impact on families and the economy. He stated that retrenchment would lead to increased unemployment and poverty, making it harder for Kenyans to meet their basic needs.
The party called on President Ruto to focus on creating jobs and improving working conditions for public servants instead of cutting down on the workforce. They also urged the government to invest in training and capacity building for civil servants to improve their productivity and effectiveness.
The Azimio Party promised to resist any attempts to retrench public servants and called on Kenyans to join them in this fight. They urged the government to prioritize the needs of its citizens and to work towards achieving sustainable development and prosperity for all.
