The Authority’s Service Charter is our commitment to providing excellent services to all our customers. It sets out the standards of service expected when dealing with the Authority and its staff.
The Customer Service Charter outlines the rights and responsibilities of customers as well as the procedure to follow in expressing dissatisfaction if the Authority’s approved service standards are not met.
This Customer Service Charter is available in English, Kiswahili and Braille.
Customers are encouraged by the Client Feedback Form so they can provide information to the Authority on our performance and recommend areas of improvement.
This Customer Service Charter is updated every two years to reflect the service improvements and innovations.
