Permanent Secretary Robert Kasande highlighted that the Service Delivery Standards promote consistency, accountability, and transparency within the ministry.
During the launch, the ministry also celebrated key achievements, including representing the government in over 60,000 court cases, saving public funds, and contributing significantly to the national resource envelope.
