State officers will not lose jobs in Reforms--Committee says

Kenya: Implementation Committee on Parastatal Reforms has dismissed fears that both senior management and low cadre staff will lose their jobs as government moves to implement radical reforms on Government Owned Entities (GOE).

The reforms which have been finalized and awaiting review by parliament will see a drastic reduction of parastatals from 262 to 187. A total of 42 will be dissolved, 28 others will be merged while 22 others are likely to have their roles transferred to other bodies.
