NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 31 \u2014 The Kenya School of Government (KSG) is launching a series of leadership, governance, and accountability initiatives aimed at transforming public service culture and strengthening transparency in the use of public resources, Director General Nura Mohamed said on Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at a leadership and governance forum organised by Capital FM in Nairobi, Mohamed said the programmes are designed to promote ethical leadership, accountability, and improved service delivery across government institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to ensure that public service is anchored on accountability and focused on delivering services to citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The rollout comes as KSG prepares to mark 100 years since its establishment later this year, a milestone reflecting its long-standing role in building leadership capacity within the public sector. <\/p>\n

The school operates multiple campuses across Kenya, including in Mombasa and the Rift Valley, and plans further expansion to bring training closer to public servants at county and community levels.<\/p>\n

Among the initiatives is a public sector culture transformation programme, aimed at fostering responsibility and accountability in government institutions. <\/p>\n

\u201cCulture change in the public sector is critical,\u201d Mohamed said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAccountability, leadership, governance, influence and a shared vision are all rooted in the culture of public service. That is why we have developed a culture roadmap addressing accountability at both individual and organisational levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technology-driven training <\/h2>\n

KSG has also launched a Customer Service Excellence programme to enhance service delivery in government offices and is investing in technology-driven training through the Regional Centre of Competence for Digital Skilling and Artificial Intelligence in the Public Service, which aims to improve transparency and resource management.<\/p>\n

As part of its outreach strategy, KSG is introducing the \u201cKSG on the Wheels\u201d initiative, taking governance training and civic engagement directly to communities.<\/p>\n

The programme will include an \u201cUnder the Tree\u201d dialogue series, where training and policy discussions will be held in villages to engage youth, women, elders, and persons with disabilities who may not easily access the school\u2019s campuses. <\/p>\n

The programme is set to begin on April 24.<\/p>\n

Additionally, KSG is working to establish a leadership academy in honour of veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga, focusing on emerging governance challenges and leadership capacity development. <\/p>\n

The institution is also expanding partnerships across Africa and internationally, having signed agreements with over 40 African countries and more than 10 countries outside the continent to support leadership and governance training.<\/p>\n

Mohamed urged emerging leaders to prioritise integrity and responsibility in public service. <\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership is not about titles \u2014 it is a calling,\u201d he said. \u201cIf leaders demonstrate accountability and integrity, others will follow.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
