The County Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock emerged as the winner of the highly coveted Governor Malombe’s Performance Contracting Award for the 2024/2025 Financial Year, in the award ceremony ceremony held at the Kitui Teachers Training College on Friday.
While addressing the media at the venue, CECM in charge of Agriculture Dr. Mbaya Kimwele attributed the win to team work, promising to digitize all agricultural services to enable quick access to extention services by farmers.
However, the Ministry of Youth, Gender and Social Services led by Phoebe Mutemi was ranked the worst, emerging position 12 out of 12.
The County Ministry of Basic Education, Training and Skills Development, led by Ms. Masila, emerged second, while the Office of the Deputy Governor, led by H.E. Augustine Kanani, took third place.
This initiative entrenches a culture of enhanced transparency, accountability, and timely responsiveness in the public service. While announcing the results, Kitui Governor Dr. Julius Malombe challenged the ministries “to own their targets, innovate through collaboration, and serve with integrity.”
According to governor Julius Malombe, the winners will receive one-quarter of their January basic salary, the second position will receive one-eighth of their January basic salary, while the third position will receive one-twelfth of their January basic salary.
Performance Contracting is domiciled in the Office of the Deputy Governor, and for three consecutive years, it has topped the list in ensuring “what gets measured”.
