GOVERNMENT PRINTER FACES FINANCIAL STRAIN AS OUTSOURCING WEAKENS ITS CORE MANDATE

The Government Printer, one of Kenya’s oldest state institutions, is facing increasing financial strain as operational costs rise and demand for its services continues to shrink. The decline, according to insiders and observers, has been years in the making.

For a long time, the Government Printer held an exclusive mandate to publish official documents, including the Kenya Gazette, legal notices, public forms, examination papers, and other sensitive state materials. However, a gradual shift toward outsourcing printing contracts to private firms has significantly reduced its revenue base.

Community voices and public administrators say they saw the crisis coming. Outsourced printing ranging from government booklets to branded materials has slowly eroded the Printer’s relevance, leaving its once-busy machines underutilized. Many ministries and state agencies now opt for private printers who promise faster turnaround times and sometimes more competitive pricing.

The same trend is visible in the broader public communications ecosystem. A visit to most government offices reveals staff watching private commercial TV channels rather than the national broadcaster, KBC, which also struggles with low viewership and limited revenue. Critics say this reflects a deeper pattern of neglect toward state institutions tasked with informing the nation and preserving national records.

Experts warn that without urgent reforms such as modernization, better funding, and restoration of key government printing mandates - the Government Printer risks becoming obsolete. They argue that depending heavily on private firms to print sensitive or official materials also raises concerns about data security, authenticity, and long-term preservation.

As the government pushes forward with its digital transformation agenda, stakeholders say the role of the Government Printer must be redefined, not dismantled.

Kisa Cha Ukatili wa Kinyumbani - Mukuru Kwa Njenga

Mama Philmer Kemuma, mkazi wa Mukuru Kwa Njenga anaendelea kupitia maumivu makali baada ya kupigwa vibaya na mumewe, Erick Osoro, alfajiri ya leo Jumapili.
Kemuma, mama wa watoto wawili wadogo, anaripoti kuwa amekuwa akipitia ukatili huu kwa muda mrefu, na sasa hali imefikia kiwango cha kutishia maisha yake baada ya kugongwa jicho na kupoteza uwezo wa kuona.

“Alianza kunipiga saa saba usiku aliporudi akiwa k**a amelewa. Sikujitetea, alininyonga shingo hizi alama. Sasa nimelala kwa huyu mama jirani. Huwa ananipiga,” anasimulia kwa uchungu.

Hadi kufikia sasa, hajapatiwa matibabu yoyote, na hakuna hatua rasmi iliyochukuliwa dhidi ya mtuhumiwa.
