I rise to ask this Question to the Cabinet Secretary for Industry, Trade and Cooperatives: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the process followed in the recruitment and appointment of the current Managing Director of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS)? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the basis on which experienced technical managers were transferred by the Managing Director of KEBS in December 2019 without regard to their professional and technical qualifications and subsequent approval by the National Standards Council? (iii) What is the progress made so far with regard to the implementation of the Standards and Quality Infrastructure Reforms Taskforce Report since the Taskforce concluded its work? (iv) Could the Cabinet Secretary clarify whether KEBS has implemented the recommendations of the Auditor-General’s Report of July 2019 and further explain why KEBS is still pursuing the expansion of the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme before addressing the concerns raised by Auditor-General’s Report? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
