State Minister of the Presidential Administration for Civil Service Management and Good Governance Ridhivani Kikwete presented the budget speech for 2026/2027 to the Parliament in Dodoma. During the meeting, the Minister outlined the Government's strategic plan for the Civil Service Commission, aimed at strengthening accountability, protecting workers' rights, and ensuring compliance with legislation in the country's civil service.
To ensure the timely administration of justice, the Commission plans to hold four legal meetings to review and resolve appeals, complaints, and various employment-related issues. In addition, the Commission will conduct routine inspections in 300 government agencies and specialized inspections in 10 others to assess compliance with laws, regulations and guidelines in the field of human resources. In order to reduce the number of conflicts in the workplace and improve work efficiency, the Commission will also conduct explanatory work with 574 public service institutions regarding their role and the importance of following administrative procedures.
Today, technological progress remains a priority. The Commission will continue to modernize the Public Service Complaints and Appeals Information System (PSCMIS) to speed up the resolution process. In addition, the Commission will carefully review the evidence provided by the applicants and disciplinary authorities to ensure that all decisions are based on the law and factual accuracy.
At the international level, the Commission will continue to collaborate with other commissions across Africa and the SADC region to share best practices. She will also maintain partnerships with the Office of the Solicitor General for the effective management of court cases involving civil servants and their protection in court.
For the fiscal year 2026/2027, the Public Service Commission has requested a budget of 12.86 billion TSh. Of this amount, 96.11 percent is allocated for current expenses, and 3.89 percent is allocated for development projects. Overall, this budget reflects the Government's commitment to building a fair, accountable and efficient public service through robust legal oversight and modern governance systems.
