The State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC) partnered with the Institute of Certified Secretaries (ICS) to mount the 2023 induction workshop for Board Members of State Corporations.

This Board Induction was held in four Cohorts from 12th to 26th April 2023 at Lake Naivasha Resort, Naivasha with the first Cohort held between April 12^th to 14^th, 2023, and was officially opened by H.E. Dr. Musalia W. Mudavadi.

The Workshop was premised on good governance promotion in Kenya.

The collaboration between ICS and SCAC, that started way back in 2015, from MWONGOZO CODE of Governance for State Corporations in Kenya, has been further strengthened through this noble capacity building initiative.

This Board Induction Workshop brought together all Board Members and Chairpersons in all state corporations in Kenya, and created a platform for exchange of ideas, and robust engagement on corporate governance matters.

During this Induction Workshop, several topics and thematic areas were covered that include; principles of Corporate Governance under Mwongozo and Emerging Issues, Policy and Institutional Framework of State Corporations; emotional intelligence and Boardroom dynamics, Overview of Governance Audit Framework, Overview of Public Procurement and Disposal Framework for State Corporation, and Effective Management of Meetings, Ethics among others.

The corporate secretarial profession has over the years evolved from traditional compliance and a greater focus is now on governance advisory services. This coupled with technological advancement, economic dynamics, and other changing trends in the global and local arena has necessitated the review of the Certified Public Secretaries of Kenya Act, Cap 534 of 1988 (“the Act”).

To this end, The Cabinet Secretary to National Treasury and Economic Planning appointed a multi-sectoral Taskforce in July 2022 to review the legal framework for the corporate secretarial profession. The Taskforce is in its final stages of this assignment and has developed a Draft Bill.

Pursuant to the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and all other relevant legislation, the Taskforce in its 8th meeting approved Public Participation, with all Stakeholders, key among them, members. 

You can access the Bill here THE CERTIFIED GOVERNANCE SECRETARIES BILL, 2023
