The County also outlined that these internship positions are intended to build a pipeline of skilled professionals who can later transition into long-term employment, either within Murang’a County or elsewhere in the public and private sectors. By prioritizing local talent, the County aims to boost regional economic growth and enhance service delivery standards across all departments.
Interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to submit their applications online via the official Murang’a County Government recruitment portal at psb.muranga.go.ke.
