Dr. Mutua stressed that the Ministry’s goal is to ensure that all citizens have access to decent work and robust social protection.

“The performance contracts are not just a tool for monitoring and evaluation; they are a blueprint for achieving transformational change in the Ministry and across our state corporations,” Dr. Mutua said. “We are committed to working together to create a society where social protection and decent work opportunities are available to all.”

The signing of these contracts marks a crucial step in the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of public service delivery and ensure that all state corporations under the Ministry’s jurisdiction operate at optimal levels.
