    "content": " Hon. Members, as you may be aware, the National Assembly has since 2009, annually engaged the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) through the Speaker’s Roundtable. The topics of interest aimed at bolstering the roles of the two institutions are deliberated upon for prosperity and development of the nation’s economic sector. I, therefore, wish to notify you that the National Assembly, in conjunction with KEPSA, has organised the 2016 Speaker’s Roundtable Meeting under the theme “Securing Kenya’s competitiveness through an enabling legislative framework.” The meeting will take place from 13th to 15th October 2016 in Mombasa. The participants who include the presidium of the House, party leaders and whips, chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of committees and staff of Parliament will depart Nairobi for Mombasa on Thursday, 13th October, 2016 in the afternoon and return on Saturday, 15th October, 2016. Hon. Members, this roundtable meeting marks another great milestone in the endeavour to bring together the management of the private sector and political leadership of the National Assembly to candidly engage and interact on issues of interest that are cardinal to propelling the country’s economic sector to a higher level. It is worth noting that the inaugural Speaker’s roundtable held between the National Assembly and the KEPSA in 2009 laid the ground for robust and more structured engagement between the sector and the National Assembly."
