ABOUT THE COURSE

Under Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the National values include good governance, integrity, transparency and accountability and sustainable development.

Under Article 232 of the Constitution, the values and principles of public service include efficient, effective and economic use of resources and these values and principles of public service apply to public service in all State organs in both levels of government; and all State corporations.

The Mwongozo Code of Governance of State corporations at the introduction observes that the weak financial performance of the majority of State corporations in Kenya has been attributed to an inadequate governance framework and that the improved performance and viability of State corporations will require the development of an appropriate governance framework. It also notes that global best practices demonstrate the strong linkage between good governance and enterprise growth and profitability. The institutionalization of good governance practices in the leadership and governance of State corporations is therefore expected to spur growth, development, employment creation and economic transformation of the country.

Chapter 7 of the Mwongozo addresses Sustainability and Performance Management and places a number of obligations on the Board in respect of this.

It is against this background that the Kenya School of Law conceptualised this course, to strengthen the capacity of State Agencies to meet the statutory obligations on them as relates to sustainability.
