The Ministry of Agriculture announces 354 vacancies across various cadres including drivers, clerks, and animal husbandry assistants, with a deadline set for February 28, 2026.

In a glimmer of hope for Kenya’s job-hungry youth, the government has opened its doors. The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development has announced 354 vacancies, launching a recruitment drive that spans from drivers to artisans, offering a lifeline to hundreds in a tough employment market.
The announcement, made on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, by the State Department for Livestock Development, comes at a critical time. With the cost of living still biting and the private sector recovering slowly, public service jobs remain the most coveted prize in the land. These positions are on a one-year contract basis, a move designed to plug capacity gaps quickly and efficiently within the ministry.
The recruitment is notably broad, targeting not just white-collar graduates but also technical skills that drive the day-to-day machinery of government. The breakdown of the 354 slots reveals a focus on operational support:
For interested candidates, the window is tight and the process is strict. Applications must be submitted by February 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The ministry has emphasized that there are no shortcuts—corruption or canvassing will lead to automatic disqualification.
Candidates must fill out the PSC2 (Revised 2016) form, available on the Public Service Commission website. The completed forms, along with certified copies of ID and certificates, should be addressed to the Principal Secretary, State Department for Livestock Development, or hand-delivered to Kilimo House, 2nd Floor, Wing A.
"We want the right people for the job," a ministry official stated on background. "This is about service delivery to the farmer and the taxpayer." For 354 Kenyans, this February could mark the end of the tarmac and the beginning of a career.
