Department for Infrastructure. This was done without the programme targets and key performance indicators which should allow efficient oversight. It is worthwhile noting that the state agencies operate under different pieces of legislation with each having different organisational structure and corporate culture. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following. (i) What is the legal status of the establishment of Kenya Transport and Logistics Network (KTLN)? (ii) What is the organisational structure of this new entity viz-a-vis the existing structure for Kenya Railways Corporation, Kenya ...

The Bill intends to amend Section 58 of the County Governments Act specifically to redefine the qualifications of the secretary and the chairperson to the board. There are obvious salient issues.

Their audience is mostly live performances. They deal with social events like weddings and churches where they get some little stipend or money to support their lives. The Kshs100 million stimulus package that was provided is truly a drop in the ocean. I suppose and trust that in the fullness of time, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the relevant committee will consult further with the relevant ministry ...
