The OGP is a global multilateral initiative that brings together 78-member countries and 78 local governments to promote transparency, participatory inclusive an accountable governance. Member states participate in the partnership by way of submitting two-year action plans with county commitments or country commitments to achieve within the period of action plan. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya became a Member of OGP in 2011 and has so far implemented three national action plans and is currently implementing its fourth national action plan for the period of 2020/2022, which is terminating at the end of this year 2023. Owing to the elections and transition in Government, Kenya was granted a year’s extension to conclude the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) as some of the activities are pegged to legislative action by Parliament and approval by certain policies by the cabinet of the Republic of Kenya. Kenya is also a Member of the global steering committee for the period 2022 to 2023, which was then chaired by the then Deputy President and the current President of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. William Ruto. As a Member of the Partnership and Global steering committee, Kenya is contributing to the partnership collective effort to tackle global issues related to inclusive recovery from the pandemic hence strengthening the critical strain healthcare systems,"
