At Kahawa Garrison on 26 September 2024, Kenya Army Formation Commanders convened for their annual conference, as they also signed Performance Contracts aimed at enhancing the Army’s mandate and improving resource management.
The two evens were presided over by Commander Kenya Army, Lieutenant General David Tarus, who emphasized the significance of performance contracting as a tool to foster commitment, accountability, and effective resource allocation.
“The contract you sign today will help you attain higher levels of effectiveness and meet targets, ensuring the Service fulfills its obligations even amid resource constraints,” he stated.
