According to Musalia Mudavadi,  Prime Cabinet Secretary, the government is working on a measure to control the performance management role in all national and county government entities.

Through his office, the bill aims to increase the value of public investments by adopting, simplifying, and integrating whole-of-government principles.

"The focus of the performance contracts will be based on, among others, the priorities agreed upon during the Cabinet Retreat held at the beginning of the year in Nanyuki. In order to realize this, all Public Institutions must ensure that their respective key priorities are included in their Performance Contracts," the CS said on Tuesday.

He also stated that the measure would establish a framework for rewarding and punishing performance.

mudavadi was addressing the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi to deliver a report on the review of the performance of ministries, state enterprises, and tertiary institutions for the fiscal year 2021/2022.

In 2020, the Public Service Performance Management Unit began automating the formerly manual Performance Contracting processes.

This was accomplished using an online Government Performance Contracting Information System (GPCIS) to build a wholly automated end-to-end system in which all necessary Performance Contracting activities may be completed online.

"It is worth noting that the GPCIS ensured service delivery continuity during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic." As a result, other public institutions should replicate GPCIS in their attempts to automate service delivery," Mudavadi said on Tuesday.
