Kitui county government has put its officers, including County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) and Chief officers (COs) on a performance contract.
The move aims at enhancing accountability and transparency within the county administration while also improving service delivery to the county residents.
According to the County Governor, Julius Malombe, who presided over the signing of the 2025/2026 financial year performance contracts at a ceremony held at the county headquarters offices in Kitui town, noted that performance contracting links specific development priorities with county budget allocations, hence ensuring the timely realization of desired goals and results.
During the event, Dr Malombe emphasized that the exercise has largely helped his administration to prudently utilise county resources, leading to huge development gains over the last few years, including the implementation and operationalisation of 1,921 projects across the county. "The performance contracting exercise has given clarity to priorities, strengthened planning, enhanced coordination and also given our people a sure way to measure service delivery progress of the county administration," he said.
