Senators, as you are aware, the Annual Legislative Summit is a forum that brings together Kenyan Legislators to deliberate and share experiences in pursuit of the successful implementation of the devolved governance structure. It is a forum that presents a unique platform for positive engagement between the Senate, County Assemblies, constitutional commissions, independent offices, development partners and relevant intergovernmental institutions. Three Legislative Summits have been successfully held annually since 2016. As in the past three Summits, this year‟s Summit is jointly organized by the Senate and the County Assemblies Forum (CAF), in line with our constitutional mandates and the constitutional requirement to conduct our relations on the basis of consultation and co- operation, as provided for in Article 6 (2) of the Constitution. Hon. Senators, the Legislative Summit, 2019 seeks to build on the gains of the previous Summits while providing an avenue for Kenyan Legislatures to continually interrogate implementation of their roles in the devolved governance structure. The theme of this year‟s Summit is “Accelerating Devolution; Assessing the Progress and Addressing the Gaps in Policy and Legislation”. This year‟s Summit, is scheduled to take place from 13th to 17th April, 2019, at the Grand Royale Swiss Hotel, Kisumu County. Departure from Nairobi for Senators participating in the pre-Summit programmes for the Youth and Persons with Disabilities is Friday 12th April, 2019, while departure for all other Senators is Saturday, 13th April, 2019. Departure from Kisumu is scheduled for Thursday, 18th April, 2019. Additional information and logistical arrangements will be given through the Office of the Clerk. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
