    "content": "lacking key skills that could equate to creativity and skill match. 3. We also looked at the weak labour management partnership manifested in poor investment of employees in decision-making. 4. There was poor was work environment. 5. There was lack of productivity measure. 6. There was low priority for research and development, which is critical for innovation and inventions. From the presentation done by the Ministry, the Committee observed the following:- 1. The country level of productivity remains low and this is responsible for unsuitable economic growth. 2. The country also lacks policy and legal institutional framework to anchor the existing initiative and provide the required impulses for effective productivity and management in the country. Kenya is a country with high productivity organization; for it to spur growth to the next level, we need to produce more quality and cost-effective goods and services with the same amount of resources that are competitive in local, regional and global markets. Productivity has also acted as key a driver in economic and growth of newly industrialised countries in Asia, for example Japan, Malaysia and China. The Ministry intends to transform the current Productivity Centre of Kenya into a strengthened National Productivity Council to effectively deal with productivity in the country. The Committee recommends the following:- 1. That the House adopts the National Productivity Policy as contained in Sessional Paper No.3 of 2013. 2. The Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services should ensure that our policy:- (a) reflects productivity across all the sectors of the economy; (b) incorporates the aspect of quality in productivity clearly; (c) articulates the objective of the policy."
