This has immensely contributed to the creation of sound operational systems, policies and strategies for better governance and performance of the County. In the year under review, the Office spearheaded the implementation of the Automated Integrated Performance Management System which facilitated the online signing of Performance Contracts at the Executive level cascaded to Chief Officers and the Directorate level. In fulfilling its mandated to enhance staff capacity and motivation, the Office managed to formalize the adoption of the scheme of service for County Inspectorate Officers which will facilitate the realignment of staff in this directorate and recruitment of Officers as well. The Department has had a challenge of shortage of key personnel in various units including Legal Unit, Public Administration and Inspectorate. The Office through the Legal Unit managed to undertake the amendment of the Nyeri County Alcoholics Drinks Control and Management Act which will streamline the licensing of liquor outlets and subsequently improve on revenue collection for the County. The Legal Unit further facilitated development of over 15 departmental policies which have been forwarded to the County Assembly for adoption.
