    "content": "Hon. Senators, I have a Communication. As you are aware, the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is the apex body of the private sector in Kenya. KEPSA brings together the business community under a single umbrella body to engage and influence public policy for an enabling business environment. Over the last few years, the Senate and KEPSA have held a roundtable conference on an annual basis with a view to enhancing greater private sector engagement and participation in Kenya’s governance structure and economic management. You will recall that last year, the two organisations hosted the Senate- KEPSA Roundtable 2018 that was held from 22nd to 24th November, 2018 under the theme “Reimagining Kenya’s political economy.” Deliberations at this event placed emphasis on increased partnership between the Senate and the private sector in the Four Agenda; healthcare, housing, manufacturing and agriculture. Hon. Senators, as a follow-up to the Conference held in 2018, the Senate-KEPSA Roundtable Conference 2019 is scheduled to be held from 7th to 9th November, 2019. The theme for the event is “Boosting business competitiveness for the growth and job creation; the roles of the Senate and the private sector.” Discussions will focus on interventions that impact on the counties business environment and competitiveness, trade, investment and value chain development. Additionally, the event will also assess implementation of the Big Four Agenda, take stock of the resolutions around that during the 2018 Conference and device strategies that unlock the potential of the Big Four Agenda and for devolution. Hon. Senators, I wish to extend the invitation to all hon. Senators to this important forum with the private sector. The venue will be the Great Rift Valley Lodge, Naivasha, Nakuru County. Further details on the event will be given through the Office of the Clerk. I thank you. Next Order."
