Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya provides for the right to education. The principal role of this Bill is to promote the establishment and use of libraries in the counties so as to facilitate access to information, improve education standards and reduce the level of illiteracy in the counties. By so doing, the Bill gives effect to Paragraph 4(F) of Part Two of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. The Bill aims to enable access to educational resources, promote literacy and support educational, cultural, and research activities by providing necessary resources and facilities to ensure the preservation of the countries' cultural heritage for future generations. The Bill provides for the role of the counties in making provisions for library services. This includes but is not limited to- (1) Mobilizing resources necessary for the delivery of library services. (2) Approving and integrating the county libraries' annual work plan into the annual county budget. (3) Allocate adequate funds and resources necessary for the effective development of libraries. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
