The Chief Executive Officer of the Public Service Commission Paul Famba yesterday appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Implementation to outline progress in developing a policy framework for managing health sector internships.
The session focused on the status of recommendations made by the National Assembly Health Committee, which were adopted by Parliament to address persistent challenges facing medical interns, including placement disparities, delayed postings, and inconsistencies in stipend payments.
The committee had directed the Ministry of Health, working jointly with the Public Service Commission, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, and other stakeholders, to fast-track the development of a comprehensive framework to streamline internship management.
During his presentation, Famba highlighted the Commission’s role in supporting the formulation of the policy and aligning public service human resource practices with the proposed reforms aimed at improving efficiency and fairness.
The meeting was also attended by senior government officials, including Public Health and Professional Standards Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni, Public Service and Human Capital Development Principal Secretary Jane Imbunya, as well as representatives from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
Members of the Implementation Committee expressed concern over delays in executing the recommendations, urging the relevant institutions to expedite the process to ensure a more transparent and equitable system for medical interns.
They emphasized that timely implementation would help address long-standing grievances in the sector, improve working conditions, and ensure fair deployment across the country.
The appearance forms part of Parliament’s oversight role in holding government agencies accountable and ensuring that resolutions passed by the House are effectively implemented.
