Group reviews curriculum of Kenya's Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training

Kenya Titus Speaking at the opening of the review process, The Clerk of the Kenyan National Assembly Patrick Gichohi said the review of the CPST's modules couldn't have come at a better time.

"You all know that in the next few months, we expect to have the Senate, and the National Assembly and 47 county assemblies in place. There will be more than 2,000 MPs (national and county assemblies) that will require exposure to parliamentary operations and practices.
"For MPs to be of service to the electorate they need to adequately facilitated. This is achieved through constant exposure to various aspects of parliamentary business including how to develop and execute motions and bills of Parliament," he said.

The Westminster Foundation for Democacy has been supporting the Kenya CPST for more than two years.
