The Public Service Commission (PSC) is in the eye of a major storm after it added 108 applicants to a shortlist of Kenyans wishing to be principal secretaries long after it had concluded the exercise.
The action by the PSC sparked outrage after it emerged that it had expanded the original list of 477, padding it to 585.
The discontent and outcry among the public arose after the new list contained names of allies to President William Ruto, persons linked to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), and losers from the August General Election.
