State House has lifted a five-year hiring freeze in parastatals, offering relief to thousands of jobless Kenyans in an economy where companies are shedding jobs.

Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua has issued a circular to principal secretaries, Cabinet secretaries and CEO of parastatals informing them that State-owned firms are free to hire without having to seek approval from the executive office of the President.
