Abstract
The Kenyan public sector has reported dismal and deteriorating services that at times are ineffective,
inefficient and unresponsive to the needs of the general public. The poor service delivery informed part of the
decision to form county governments, but complaints are still there on delayed and poor service quality. To
enhance the service delivery quality, effectiveness and efficiency, focus has to shift to human capital
management especially on training of employees. The paper was anchored on SERVQUAL model and
supported by human capital theory. There was use of descriptive research design approach in targeted the
human resource department staffs and members of the public service board and 30% formed the final sample
size. Piloting confirmed the fitness, idealness of the questionnaire through validity and reliability testing. The
respondents filled the questionnaires, later the data was entered into Ms. Excel and SPPS for descriptive,
correlation and regression analysis. The study established that trainings positively and significantly affect
service delivery at Nairobi City County. Drawn conclusions shared that training as a component of human
resource management practices resulted in improved service delivery quality, timeliness and responsiveness at
the Nairobi City County. The study recommends that county government and the public sector employees
should be trained on the values and ethics of public service. This training should help employees to
understand their role as public servants and to make ethical decisions in their work.
