The Ministry of Defence has claimed the top spot in Kenya’s 2024/2025 Performance Contracting Evaluation, being named the **Best Performing Ministry** in the entire government. The prestigious recognition highlights the ministry’s outstanding commitment to efficiency, accountability, and results-driven service delivery in advancing national priorities. Defence Cabinet Secretary **Soipan Tuya** received the coveted award alongside Principal Secretary for Defence **Dr. Patrick Mariru** and the Assistant Chief of Defence Forces — a moment that signals a rare win for transparency and measurable governance in Kenya’s public sector.
