    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were no Questions on notice today. So, I am happy to be back here in the country and to address this House on an issue that I think is of importance. In the Executive, we decided to introduce what we call Prime Minister’s Round Table Meetings. These meetings were introduced in August last year. The purpose is to try to introduce dialogue between the public and private sector. In these meetings, the Government is represented by Ministers, their Permanent Secretaries and senior officials from those Ministries. The private sector is co-ordinated by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) and brings in organizations from across the board; manufacturing, agriculture and the services sector. At these meetings we try to create an understanding between the private and the public sectors for better service delivery to the people. We believe that the private sector is the engine of development and that it is necessary to remove the barriers that have existed between the public and private sector. We have so far held three of these meetings. At those meetings, Ministers and their staff respond to questions that are raised by the private sector."
