Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence, in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon, of Mr. Anthony Staddon from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) International Headquarters, United Kingdom (UK). Mr. Staddon is in Parliament on the invitation of the CPA Kenya Branch to carry out a self-assessment exercise on the CPA recommended benchmarks for democratic legislatures. The CPA recommended benchmarks for democratic legislatures were published in 2006 and comprise 87 indicators for excellence in Commonwealth parliamentary and legislative practice. Mr. Staddon is scheduled to hold meetings with the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament, the Houses’ Leadership, Select Committee Chairpersons and members of the CPA Kenya Branch Executive Committee. Hon. Senators, upon conclusion of the self-assessment exercise, CPA will prepare a report that will highlight the status of each Member of Parliament in upholding the recommended benchmarks. On behalf of the Senate and on my own behalf, I welcome Mr. Anthony Staddon to the Senate and wish him well for the remainder of the visit. Thank you."
