List of suspended foreign travel categories

The government suspended foreign travel in five categories for government officials.

In a statement on Monday, Head of Public Service Felix Koskei said the constitution demands prudent and responsible utilisation of public money.

He said it is a principle that remains the guiding anchor of the government's current fiscal consolidation and monetary policy strategies.

The suspended categories include benchmarking and study visits, training and related capacity-building Initiatives, research, academic meetings and Symposia.

Others are conferences and meetings of general participation, side events, showcase events and exhibitions and caucus and association meetings and events.
