Members, you recall that on 3rd August 2023, I brought to the attention of the House the existence of vacancies in the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Kenya Branch. In my Communication, I notified the House that an Annual General Meeting (AGM) was scheduled to be held on Thursday, 10th August 2023, for purposes of holding elections. I also invited interested Members to tender their applications for election in writing to the Clerk of the National Assembly. Hon.

In addition, the AGM received and adopted the Treasurer's Report on audited accounts of the Branch.
