    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 127(5) to report progress on the consideration of the Regional Development Authority Bill (National Assembly Bill No.7 of 2023) by the Departmental Committee on Regional Development. The Bill was read for the First time in this House on 6th June 2023 and was committed to Departmental Committee on Regional Development for consideration pursuant to Standing Order 127(3). Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Bill is very important as it seeks to consolidate all laws relating to regional development and to provide for the establishment, powers and functions of the six existing regional development bodies. The Bill further seeks to standardise the functions of Regional Development Authorities (RDAs) and the membership of the boards of each authority to 11 members in line with best practices in corporate governance. It also seeks to align all existing RDA Acts with the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010."
