Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said the country should now start having conversations around Kenya Vision 2063.
Speaking during the release of the performance contracting report held at KICC.
"We are seven years short of the expiry of Kenya Vision 2030. A conversation around Kenya Vision 2063 when Kenya turns 100 years old, must begin," he said.
Mudavadi added that the performance of the Public Service must be integral in driving the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BeTA) as an offshoot in realising the Kenya Vision 2030.
"The vision 2030 seeks to transform Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous country," he said.
He also added that the Performance Contracts for Cabinet Secretaries be aligned to the key Government priorities as contained in the Programme Based Budget (PBB) and cascaded downwards to ensure that all public servants are working towards the common good of the country.
"The role of public servants is to facilitate the Government to implement its policies, programmes and deliver services to Wananchi on a value-for-money basis. Consequently, Performance targets must advance the country’s development agenda," he added.
Mudavadi further said public officers who permit or make an expenditure that is unlawful will be surcharged.
The Prime CS said the government will strictly apply the penalties accruing from Section 72 of the Public Finance Management Act 2012 on the management of assets and liabilities of national government entities.
He said accounting officers who fail to manage public assets to achieve value for money will henceforth be penalised.
“Public resources are not infinite. Constant losses cannot be entertained. Compliance with the law is therefore not optional,” he said.
