PSC reviewed Retirement Age
The PSC reviewed the retirement age for civil servants from 55 to 60 back in 2009.
The revision was meant as a strategy to retain talent within the public service to prevent gaps in the required skill sets.
Mr Kirogo, however, intimated that the commission had received a number of applications for the extension of service.
