Article 234 (2)(h) of the Constitution, Section 16 of the Public Service (values and 
principles) Act 2015 and Section 63 of the PSC Act 2017 mandates the Public Service 
Commission to evaluate and report to the President and Parliament on the extent to which 
the values and principles of Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution are complied with in the 
public service. 
In fulfillment of this mandate, the Commission has since the enactment of the Kenya 
Constitution 2010 undertaken evaluation exercises in the Public Service on Compliance with 
the public service values and principles and submitted nine reports containing crosscutting 
and institution-specific recommendations for action by public organizations. 
A review of the participation rate shows that a number of institutions have over the years 
failed to participate in the evaluation exercise, with the implementation status of submitted 
reports from 2013 to 2019 reflecting non-compliance of a significant number of Ministries, 
Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
