During the meeting, Cabinet members reviewed the progress of ongoing initiatives in sectors such as education, healthcare, social protection, regional development, and digital transformation.
The committee also highlighted challenges affecting project delivery, including resource allocation gaps, delays in policy implementation, and areas where service delivery to citizens has been distressed.
Kindiki emphasized the need for coordinated action across ministries to ensure that government programmes achieve their intended impact.
“Our focus is on addressing the pain points in service delivery and ensuring that the 2026 agenda is implemented efficiently, transparently, and inclusively,” he said.
The committee resolved to enhance inter-ministerial collaboration, strengthen monitoring mechanisms, and prioritize interventions that address critical issues affecting vulnerable populations, particularly in ASAL regions, social welfare, and digital access.
This meeting underscores the government’s commitment to delivering on its development agenda while tackling structural and operational challenges that have caused distress in key public sectors.
