The Public Service Commission (PSC) has announced that its website is currently down.
In a statement on Monday, November 20, the commission apologized for any inconvenience caused by the problem, adding that its IT team was working to resolve the matter.
Further, the commission issued an alternative link for Kenyans to continue submitting their job applications.
“The Commission website is currently down, and our ICT experts are doing their best to restore the system,” stated PSC.
“We apologize for the inconvenience caused. However, you can access PSC job portal via the link,” the commission added.
Earlier Complaints Over the PCS Website

One user who spoke to The Kenya Times indicated that the website was completely down by November 18, adding that they could not access the jobs that had been earlier advertised.
