Mudavadi urges counties to implement strategic plans

By , July 28, 2023

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has directed government agencies to strictly implement their Strategic Plans saying they are not just ‘ornamental’ documents.


According to Mudavadi, the plan is not only a result-based management tool but also an instrument with which the public service uses to account its existence.


Mudavadi warned that gone are the days when the only delivery accounting tool was to report to work and leave at their own pleasure, adding that there are no longer shortcuts to efficient and effective public service delivery that Government is committed to.


“Today, as long as you remain in the public service, make strategic plans, service delivery standards, citizen service delivery charters, annual work plans, performance contracts and staff performance appraisal, part of your second nature,” he said.


He made the remarks yesterday when he launched the Ministry of Environment and Forestry 2023-2027 Strategic Plan in Nairobi.


As far as performance management, which falls under his office is concerned, Mudavadi said he ‘does not intend to take prisoners on this’.


He warned that organisations will be judged on their suitability to remain relevant by cascading the Plans to their signed performance contract, annual work plans and to whether or not they attained individual targets set out.


At the same time, he directed the Ministry to intensify the protection and rehabilitation of the country’s water towers.
