The signing followed the contract’s vetting and approval, a process spearheaded by the Public Service Performance Management Unit in the State Department for Performance and Delivery Management. The event highlighted the role of performance contracting in strengthening:
- Accountability and transparency;
- Efficiency in public service delivery;
- Implementation of agreed performance indicators; and

Through these commitments, KNATCOM aims to deliver quality services effectively and efficiently, improve citizens’ quality of life, and enhance Kenya’s global competitiveness.
The contract provides a framework for delivering efficient and effective services to Kenyans in accordance with the Constitution. It calls on the Commission to adopt systems that promote innovation and enable the public service to respond to citizens’ needs. It will also guide continuous performance improvement and help KNATCOM meet the needs and expectations of the Kenyan people.
