In a notice, the Nairobi City County Public Service Board said the exercise follows an earlier instruction issued by the Public Service Commission under Ref: PSC/ADM/13 (42) on May 22, 2023, as well as further communication from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission under Ref: EACC.7/10/1 VOL XXV25 dated August 21, 2025.
The county board explained that these directives form the basis of the plan to run a complete review of academic and professional papers for every employee working under the Nairobi City County Government.
According to the notice, all staff must submit copies of their academic certificates, professional certificates, their current appointment letter, and a fully signed disclaimer form provided by the board.
Workers were instructed to channel their documents through their respective sectors, with the deadline for all submissions set for January 15, 2026.
The board said the exercise is aimed at updating records and ensuring all details held in the county system are accurate.
It also stressed that employees should work closely with their sector administrators to avoid delays, noting that the verification is compulsory for everyone on the county payroll.
Alongside the instructions, the board issued a strong warning on attempts by individuals to extort or mislead staff during the process.
“All staff are cautioned not to give money, facilitation fees, or any form of payment to any individual claiming to fast-track, influence, or assist with the verification exercise,” the notice read.
It added that the verification is “free of charge and is being undertaken strictly by authorised officers of the Nairobi City County Public Service Board.”
Employees were also urged to report any suspicious activity, including people posing as intermediaries, to both their sector heads and the board.
The notice emphasised that the board will not tolerate any efforts to manipulate the process or deceive staff into making payments.
The communication was signed by the Acting CEO and Secretary of the County Public Service Board, who called on all workers to treat the matter with urgency and ensure compliance within the set timelines.
