Members, I wish to recognise the presence of Mr. Anthony Staddon, a consultant from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) - International from the United Kingdom who is seated in the Speaker’s Gallery. He is in Parliament at 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 first published in 2006 and comprise of 87 indicators for excellence in Commonwealth Parliamentary and Legislative Practice. Mr. Staddon has held meetings with the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament here in Kenya and the House leadership. He is scheduled to meet Chairpersons of selected Committees and Members of the CPA-Kenya Branch Executive Committee. Upon conclusion of the self- assessment exercise, CPA International will prepare a report that will highlight the status of our Parliament in upholding the recommended benchmarks. On my own behalf and that of the House, I wish to once again welcome him to the National Assembly this afternoon and wish him fruitful engagements during the remainder of his stay in the country."
