The corporate secretarial profession has over the years evolved from traditional compliance and a greater focus is now on governance advisory services. This coupled with technological advancement, economic dynamics, and other changing trends in the global and local arena has necessitated the review of the Certified Public Secretaries of Kenya Act, Cap 534 of 1988 (“the Act”).

To this end, The Cabinet Secretary to National Treasury and Economic Planning appointed a multi-sectoral Taskforce in July 2022 to review the legal framework for the corporate secretarial profession. The Taskforce is in its final stages of this assignment and has developed a Draft Bill.

Pursuant to the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and all other relevant legislation, the Taskforce in its 8th meeting approved Public Participation, with all Stakeholders, key among them, members.
