After three weeks of intensive engagement across Eldoret, Embu, and Mombasa, the NG-CDF Board has concluded its nationwide IPSAS Accrual Training and Performance contracting supporting efforts to strengthen financial accountability, reporting and service delivery across all 290 constituencies.

This forms part of a three-year roadmap towards the transition from cash-based to accrual-based accounting, with the NG-CDF Board expected to achieve full transition by 2027.

Speaking during the opening session in Embu,the Board Chair Hon. Olago Aluoch, CBS emphasized to the participants on the need of being firm and diplomatic in their operations to avoid wastage of public resources especially as we head towards the election period.

Similarly during the opening session in Eldoret, the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Benjamin Magut assured participants of the Board’s full support throughout the implementation process, emphasizing teamwork and continuous learning in strengthening public financial accountability.

Board Directors Hon. Masitsa, Mr. Festus Wangwe, and Dr.William Sugut, who also addressed participants across the various training venues during the closing sessions, urged officers to uphold integrity and professionalism as the organization fully transitions to accrual-based accounting. They also called for timely project implementation, strict adherence to procurement procedures and financial regulations, proper records management, monitoring, and evaluation, and branding of NG-CDF projects across the country.

As the exercise concludes, the focus now shifts to implementation, ensuring that the knowledge and skills acquired contribute to improved financial reporting and effective delivery of NG-CDF projects across the country. In the same spirit of accountability, constituencies also signed their Performance Contracts, marking the beginning of a new performance cycle, and are now expected to deliver on agreed targets and measure results throughout the year.
