Multimedia University of Kenya hosted representatives from State Department for National Government Coordination for the 2025/2026 performance contract evaluation. The primary objective of the evaluation was to establish the basis for ensuring that efficient and effective services are delivered to Kenyans in line with provisions of the constitutions.
MMU Chairman of Council Dr. Albert Kochei, in a speech read on his behalf by Council Member Ms. Beatrice Tonui, welcomed Ms. Leah Maingi and Mr. Kibet Sirkoi, from State Department for National Government Coordination and expressed confidence in the university’s continued strong performance, noting that MMU had consistently achieved excellent results in previous performance contract evaluations.
Dr. Kochei further noted that performance contract evaluation is critical in assessing the attainment of agreed targets and strengthening public service delivery to students, stakeholders and the general public. He emphasised that strong performance reflects the University’s commitment to quality service delivery and enhances public confidence in its academic programmes.
Multimedia University of Kenya Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rosebella Maranga, noted that the University had consistently achieved excellent performance evaluation results over the years and reaffirmed its commitment to the performance contracting process by expressing its readiness to provide tangible evidence of implementation against each set performance indicator and target.
“While we remain committed to achieving our performance targets, changes in government systems and processes, including the technicalities with Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system have forced us to rethink our implementation mechanism. We look forward to learning from the evaluation team as we continue strengthening our performance and accountability.” Prof Maranga added.
Deputy Director, Public Service Perfomance Management Unit, Ms. Leah Maingi, leading the performance contracting initiative, emphasised that performance evaluation is essential in assessing how public services are delivered to citizens, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring accountability in the utilisation of government resources. She encouraged the team to engage freely throughout the exercise, noting that the ultimate goal was to ensure citizens receive quality services and that public resources are used effectively and responsibly.
The performance contract evaluation exercise was conducted by the Department of Performance Contracting and Quality Management Systems, led by Javan Mwiti.
Also present were the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Planning, Prof. Geoffrey Kihara; the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Research and Innovation, Prof. Livingstone Ngoo; and members of the University’s academic and administrative staff, who presented evidence of achievements against the set performance contract targets.
