KENYA NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT BILL, 2023

The Director General of the National Council for Population and Development @DrAbeySheikh appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to brief members on the Kenya National Council for Population and Development Bill, 2023 (National Assembly Bills No. 72 of 2023), which was passed by the National Assembly and committed to the Senate for concurrence.
The Bill seeks to strengthen NCPD’s legal and institutional framework by transforming the Council from an agency established under a Legal Notice into a fully-fledged statutory body through an Act of Parliament.
Once enacted, the Bill will:
✅ Provide NCPD with statutory authority to coordinate and monitor population and development programmes across national and county governments.
✅ Empower the Council to develop regulations and standards for effective policy implementation.
✅ Guarantee institutional continuity, as required under the Statutory Instruments Act (2013).
✅ Enhance Kenya’s capacity to align with regional and global population and development commitments, including the ICPD25 Nairobi Commitments and Vision 2030.
The Bill’s development was guided by extensive public participation and stakeholder engagement from 2017 to 2023, involving youth, women leaders, Parliamentarians, and development partners.
Dr. Sheikh reaffirmed NCPD’s commitment to providing leadership in population policy management to ensure that population dynamics are effectively integrated into Kenya’s development planning framework under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).

The event also featured remarks from the Principal Secretary for Economic Planning, Dr. Bonface Makokha, who underscored the importance of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) as the foundation of sustainable national growth.

Also present were PS Susan Mang’eni (MSMEs), Hon. Joseph Oyula (MP, Butula Constituency), Hon. John Olago (NG-CDF Chair), Prof. Paul Wachana (KIPPRA Chair), Arthur Osiya (PAS, Executive Office of the President), and other senior government officials, DGs, and CEOs of SAGAs.

We mourn the passing of a gallant son of the soil.
He fought a good fight and served his country with dedication, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice and democracy.
His remarkable contributions to the advancement of democracy in Kenya and across the African continent will forever be remembered.
He leaves behind a lasting legacy of leadership, courage, and patriotism that will continue to inspire generations to come.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
