SPSS were used to analyse data, and presentation put in tables. study establish that strategy formulation had significant impact, and as a result, it can be concluded that strategy formulation influences the performance of KEBS and that variations in strategy formulation can account for 63.7% of variance in KEBS performance. It can be stated that strategy implementation had a major impact and that strengthening them will lead to more performance of KEBS. It was also demonstrated that strategy implementation was positively and significantly connected with performance. It can be stated that strategy implementation had a major impact and that strengthening them will lead to more performance of KEBS. It was also demonstrated that strategy implementation was positively and significantly connected with performance. Following recommendations for improvement to KEBSs and other institutions.
