A new survey by Politrack Africa has revealed that most Kenyans support retaining Principal Secretaries (PSs) Julius Bitok (Immigration and Citizen Services) and Alex Wachira (Energy) in their positions.
The survey indicates that 76.5% of Kenyans back the two officials due to their strong performance in service delivery.
The study, conducted between January 4 and January 10, 2025, also highlights other highly rated officials.
Public Health PS Mary Muthoni Muriuki received a 76.2% approval rating, while Mining PS Elijah Mwangi followed closely with 76.0%.
Roads PS Joseph Mbugua (73.4%) and Parliamentary Affairs PS Aurelia Rono (72.2%) were also among the top-rated officials.
The survey reflects the public’s trust in key government officials and their ability to deliver results.
Other PSs who received significant approval ratings include:
Ephantus Kimotho (Irrigation): 70.1%
Geoffrey Kaituko (Shipping and Maritime Affairs): 70.0%
Raymond Omollo (Interior & National Administration): 69.1%
Abubakar Hassan (Investments): 68.7%
Teresia Mbaika Malokwe (Devolution): 67.1%
Politrack Africa stated that the findings provide crucial insights into public confidence in government service delivery.
The research firm emphasized that the high ratings indicate successful policy implementation and effective management across various sectors.
The survey results come at a time when President William Ruto is reviewing a shortlist of 109 candidates for PS positions.
With 51 current PSs facing uncertainty, speculation is growing about potential changes in government appointments.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) completed interviews for the positions on January 31, after receiving over 2,500 applications.
The final list of 109 candidates suggests a competitive selection process compared to the 9,000 applications received in 2022.
Politrack Africa has advised the government to retain high-performing PSs while adopting their successful strategies in other departments. Their recommendations include:
Maintaining leadership in well-performing sectors.
Documenting successful management tactics.
Enhancing collaboration between government departments.
