The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Defence Brig Gen Jack Nziza yesterday 18 February 2010 held a meeting with Businessmen and women who provide service to the Ministry.

The purpose of the meeting was to explore ways of enhancing service delivery. In his opening remarks the Permanent Secretary stressed that both the ministry and the clients need good and quality service in their partnership.

Among the gaps that were identified include delays in delivery of goods and payment; lack of credibility and professionalism by some companies sometimes leading to penalties; and lack of effective communication.
