See the Kenyan leadership irony in sending home 40000 civil servants from jobs

One of the government's promises before and even after elections was to create more job opportunities for it's people more so the youth. Is this really what it is doing?

Almost 40,000 public servants will lose their jobs due to government's
move to tighten the screws to tame rising wage bill.
A job freeze is also be imposed as one of the
government’s strategy to tame the cash crunch.
Most of those who will lose their jobs are in positions
made not usefu by the Constitution.
They include members of the former provincial
administration who are now in the interior docket and
those in agriculture, health and devolution ministries
(former local government) whose functions were
devolved.
Devolution and Planning Cabinet Secretary
Anne Waiguru met the Council of Governors in
Naivasha on Friday to discuss on what she calls “staff rationalisation”.
She said that :The overall objective is to ensure that
Government functions are properly staffed.”
The plan is to transform the public service and offer
effective services at both levels of Government, she
told the governors.
A government hired consolitant to carry out
capacity assessment and rationalisation
recommended the retirement of 40,000 staff at a cost
of Sh185 billion.
These are the conditions Kenya has agreed to abide by
in order to get a bailout loan from the International
Monetary Fund.
