The National Standards Council (NSC) is set for a series of grassroots visits to establish the state of quality standards compliance. ''The visits will also provide a much-needed public engagement platform geared at sensitizing stakeholders on the National quality standards policies and regulations,'' Ngore said. “The NSC is currently rolling out its strategic plan with specific emphasis on stakeholder engagements’ which will feature grassroots consultations to promote the uptake of quality standards including the ISO quality management system,” Ngore said. He added that the state of the national economic production ecosystem comprising of jua kali and large industries calls for closer collaborative interactions to promote the adoption of quality standards. The National Taskforce chaired by Wachira Maina is expected to review and evaluate the entire standards and quality infrastructure’s weaknesses and shortcomings.
