MONROVIA, LIBERIA- The Civil Service Agency (CSA) has disclosed that the Government will soon undertake the 2026 Retirement exercise for public servants.

According to CSA Director General Dr. Josiah Joekai, the process will affect those who have reached the retirement age or are in poor health in line with the Pension Law.

Dr. Joekai explained that the Agency has identified more than six thousand employees for retirement consideration.

He noted that the Education and Health Ministries account for more than Four Thousand of those identified.

 Dr. Joekai added that, given the critical role Health and Education play, they will be permitted to submit priority retention lists for highly specialized personnel whose services may be required for one or two additional years.

Dr. Joekai noted that such a move will facilitate smooth transitions and continuity of service delivery.

Meanwhile, the Government says it is providing employees with sufficient time to prepare for retirement while enabling institutions to undertake effective succession planning and workforce renewal.

Dr. Joekai noted that retirement represents a well-deserved recognition of years of dedicated service to the nation.

He disclosed on Wednesday at a news conference in Congo Town.

Dr. Joekai then pledged the government’s commitment to ensuring that retirees transition with dignity, honor, and appreciation.
