Head of Public Service Felix Koskei has unveiled an ambitious performance roadmap for State corporations, signalling a shift from structural reforms to strict results-based management in 2026.
Speaking during a high-level virtual meeting with Principal Secretaries, Board Chairpersons, CEOs, and Corporation Secretaries, Koskei said the government is entering a new phase that demands discipline, precision, and measurable outcomes across all State agencies.
The meeting, he noted, came after the conclusion of a revitalisation phase that focused on restoring order, discipline, and clarity within State corporations.
“Following the revitalisation phase, we have strengthened oversight, clarified accountability frameworks, sharpened financial stewardship, enhanced institutional coherence, and shifted organisational culture from informal practices to structured systems and documented procedures,” Koskei said.He explained that the reform period was designed to align State corporations with national development priorities while sealing governance loopholes that had previously undermined efficiency and public trust.
With the structural clean-up largely complete, Koskei said the focus now shifts to disciplined performance and measurable results.
“The focus now turns to time-bound service delivery, measurable impact, prudent financial management, elimination of wastage, zero tolerance of corruption, and prompt corrective action,” he stated.
Koskei emphasised that 2026 will be defined by strict adherence to performance targets and responsible use of public resources.
He warned that inefficiency, delayed implementation, and weak internal controls will not be tolerated.
