“KEBS has been able to start some reform programs that are starting to take shape and we’ve got a very able and effective Managing Director, quite seasoned in terms of what needs to be done,” he emphasized.

“Everything at KEBS is moving swiftly, starting from the people’s side, processes to the (Information Technology), IT section to reinforce our position with the customers and our position in terms of guiding the country, in terms of the chaos and the products coming in,” Munyiri added.

The Director, Standards Development and Trade KEBS, Esther Ngari, said the Institution has put measures in place to ensure clients get satisfactory services service.
