    "content": "governments across the world include the National School of Government in the United Kingdom, the J.F. Kennedy School of Government in Harvard, USA, the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration and the Peking University School of Government in China among many others. The school that we are proposing to establish under this Bill is expected to accelerate public service reforms and development. World over, schools of governments pursue an agenda that seeks to strengthen accountability in respective governments and public services. The Kenya School of Government will ensure that public servants have the relevant knowledge, the necessary skills, the right attitudes, and the leadership and management competencies that are required to fulfill their responsibilities. To have a public service of the 21st Century and to attain the goals of Vision 2030 and beyond, the country requires more than is currently on offer in the existing training institutions. The public service requires an institution that will establish linkages with renowned schools of governments, collaborate with institutions of repute including universities and professional bodies, be a think-tank for the Government, carry out research and consultancy that informs public policy administration and decision making, grow the country’s leaders and unveil a wide range of programmes to tackle some of the most complex challenges that public servants face today. Such programmes will enhance the competencies, professionalism and career prospects of public servants. The programmess to be offered by the school will be tailored specifically to the needs of public service and contextualized within the top priorities in Government. The school will provide opportunities for operating virtual centres of training to facilitate off-site capacity building. The school will prepare senior and top level policy personnel in public service to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, and to steer the country to the attainment of Vision 2030."
