Sessional Paper No. 02 of 1996 on Industrial Transformation to the Year 2020

Abstract

This Sessional Paper maps out a strategy for Kenya's industrialization process and the part that Government must play in its implementation. The major purpose of this Sessional Paper is to set-out national policies and strategies that will lay the foundation for the structural transformation required to enable Kenya join the league of Newly Industrialized Countries by the year 2020. The function of government in the industrialization process is to support and facilitate private enterprise. This will be done through: establishing a conducive policy environment; sound macro-economic management; maintaining the rule of law together with social and political stability; investing in physical infrastructure and human resource development; guarding against human exploitation and environmental degradation; and, pursuing Kenya's interests in international agreements and relationships.
