1 MWONGOZO; THE CODE OF GOVERNANCE FOR STATE CORPORATIONS CS Catherine Musakali
2 Background v The Presiden2al Taskforce on Parastatal Reforms report recognized that the performance of state Corpora2ons depended to a large extent on the capabili2es and performance of their Boards. v The Taskforce therefore recommended a uniform Code of Governance to provide a firm founda2on for good Corporate Governance and be applicable across all State Corpora2ons as a means of strengthening the roles and responsibili2es of the Board v Based on these recommenda2ons, the Ins2tute of Cer2fied Public Secretaries jointly with SCAC developed Mwongozo v It is geared towards providing a harmonized approach on maiers of governance in State Corpora2ons with the aim of addressing challenges iden2fied in the Taskforce report but also to enhance the performance of GOEs towards achievement of the na2onal development goals.
3 Role of State Corpora2ons v With Kenya s Blue print development agenda reflected in Vision 2030, SCs will play a major role in enabling social and economic transforma2on of the economy in which they operate. v They have five major roles; ü Promo2ng economic growth and development. ü Building the capability and technical capacity of the state in facilita2ng and promo2ng na2onal development. ü Facilita2ng the delivery of public services, including mee2ng the basic needs of ci2zens. ü Crea2on of good and widespread employment opportuni2es. ü Building of interna2onal partnerships.
4 Key plavorms driving the transforma2on agenda in respect of SCs
5 Therefore Mwongozo is Ø A uniform Code of Governance to provide a firm foundation for good Corporate Governance. Ø Applicable across all State Corporations to strengthen governance. Ø Issued on 25th March, 2015 by His Excellency vide the Executive Order No. 7 instructing all Boards to implement its provisions Ø The Government plans to encourage County Governments to adopt the same best practices in the Code.
6 Basis of Mwongozo; Ø The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 ² Article 10 National values and principles of governance ² Article 73 - Public trust, honor and dignity of public offices. ² Article 232 Personal integrity, values and principles of public service, efficiency, effectiveness and economic use of resources. ² Chapter Six of the Constitution on Leadership and Integrity. Ø The Public Officers and Ethics Act, Ø OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of SCs, (2005) Ø King III Ø SCAC Guidelines (2004) Ø Global best practice 6
7 Reasons for Mwongozo Ø Absence of a clear framework for recruitment, selection, appointment and removal of boards; Ø Untimely appointment/replacement of Boards and CEOs Ø Inadequate induction processes for Board members; Ø Lack of proper skills mix; Ø Bloated Boards; Ø Lack of uniformity in management of Board Affairs; Ø Conflicting guidelines in appointment of CEOs; Ø Lack of understanding of role of Boards by board of directors; and Ø Fusing of the Chief Executive and Board Secretary roles 7
8 Comply or Explain model Ø Recognizes that at the implementation of Mwongozo, SCs will be at different levels of compliance with corporate governance norms. Ø This approach will allow organizations time to fully comply at a pace that is realistic in their circumstances and to learn from the experience of others, whilst at the same time taking responsibility and ownership for any noncompliance. Ø While full compliance is expected, the approach positively recognizes that a satisfactory explanation, coupled with a roadmap to full compliance will, in certain circumstances be acceptable. Ø This requires that the disclosures for non-compliance will need to be detailed and Boards will be held to account for any explanations given.
9 OUTLINE OF MWONGOZO Ø Chapter One - The Board of Directors Ø Chapter Two - Transparency and Disclosure Ø Chapter Three - Accountability, Risk Management and Internal Control Ø Chapter Four - Ethical Leadership and Corporate Ci2zenship Ø Chapter Five - Shareholder Rights and Obliga2ons Ø Chapter Six - Stakeholder Rela2onships Ø Chapter Seven - Sustainability and Performance Management Ø Chapter Eight - Compliance with Laws and Regula2ons 9
