At State House Nairobi, commissioned consultations and eventual preparation of Kenya's inaugural State of Openness Report. It will establish a national benchmark for measuring transparency, accountability and institutional performance across Government, while providing an honest assessment of where we are succeeding, what we must improve and the reforms necessary to strengthen public trust. I direct every ministry, department, agency, constitutional commission and county government to extend their full cooperation to the Commission on Administrative Justice by providing timely, accurate and comprehensive information throughout this exercise. Our report on the state of openness, to be launched later in the year, will be the first of its kind in the world.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
