PSC halves intern intake on cash crunch
President William Ruto addresses interns during the launch of the Affordable Housing Programme Internship Programme at State House, Nairobi, on January 23, 2026. The programme aims to place 5,500 youth in building sector roles.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) has cut the number of university graduates recruited under the government’s internship programme by nearly half, citing limited fiscal capacity.
Data contained in the PSC’s latest annual report for the year ended June 2025 shows that 4,411 interns were recruited in March last year, marking a 49 percent decline from the 8,650 interns recruited in the prior year.
