\n\u201cLet me emphasise that all Departments and Agencies under the Ministry must remain firmly focused on delivering tangible results,\u201d he said.
\nHe noted that performance bonds to be signed during the retreat are binding commitments that will be closely monitored and rigorously evaluated.
\n\u201cThese are not ceremonial documents. They are binding commitments. Accountability will not be optional,\u201d the Minister declared.

\u201cAt the institutional level, we must remain disciplined and accountable. Every department and agency must deliver measurable outcomes,\u201d he added.
\nHe further explained that the retreat was designed to foster alignment between policy formulation, implementation, and stakeholder expectations. <\/p>\n
