    "content": "Hon. Members, as you may be aware, since 2009, the National Assembly and the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) jointly holds an annual engagement under the auspices of the Speaker's Roundtable. The annual event aims at bolstering the roles of the two institutions, including consideration of legislative and legal frameworks that are necessary for supporting the economic sector. Over the past 14 years, those engagements have been instrumental in providing policy and legislative underpinnings which have greatly impacted the sector. Indeed, various amendments and reforms to the law have been initiated as a result of those collaborative meetings, thus supporting business and economic growth, and contributing to overall national development. The 2024 Speaker's Roundtable is scheduled to take place on Friday, 21st June 2024, at the Argyle Grand Hotel, Machakos County. The meeting will be held under the theme of leveraging the role of the legislature in enhancing Kenya's competitiveness for the creation of jobs, wealth and inclusive prosperity. The Roundtable discussions will focus on, among other areas, governance, access to finance, competitive logistics and utilities, industrialisation and trade, human capital development, and social development and inclusion. Participants in the meeting will include all Members of Parliament, senior parliamentary staff and representatives of the business community under the KEPSA umbrella. In this regard, Hon. Members, I wish to invite all of you to the meeting as those engagements will afford the House an opportunity to engage with the business community as we seek to set the foundations for greater national economic development. I thank you. Next Order."
