RE : 2ND UPDATE ON THE CPS GOVERNANCE CENTRE PROJECT
As communicated vide a Council memo dated January 20, 2021, the Council of Institute of Certified Secretaries, ‘the Council’ and the CPS Governance Centre Board, ‘the Board’ had constituted an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to look into the concerns raised including the viability of the CPS Governance Centre project as initially envisioned.
The Advisory Committee completed its report and presented it to a joint meeting between the Council and the Board. After deliberations, the Council and the Board made the following resolutions;
THAT the project, as initially envisioned, is NO longer viable,
THAT all investors are to be refunded their funds taking into consideration the interest earned over time and sunk costs incurred to date,
THAT the consortium of consultants, who were handling the project, have declared a dispute and gone for Arbitration. The Board has appointed a legal counsel to represent the Centre in the matter. Other amicable solutions are being sought even as the arbitration is ongoing,
THAT the matters shall be brought before AGMs/SGMs of both the Institute and the Governance Centre for considerations and approvals/ratifications,
THAT there is a follow up planned joint meeting between the Council and the Board, aimed at looking at the modalities of concluding the matters above and give further guidance.
Once again, we request for continued patience, understanding and support as we work towards concluding the matter.

RE : APPOINTMENT OF AN AD HOC ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO ADVISE COUNCIL ON THE WAY FORWARD ON THE PROPOSED CPS GOVERNANCE CENTRE PROJECT
1. BACKGROUND:
With an aim of developing its headquarters and offices on its one-acre property located along Kilimanjaro Road, Upperhill, the Institute of Certified Secretaries, incorporated a Limited Company ‘CPS Governance Centre Limited’ to act as an investment vehicle to enable members of the Institute buy shares of the Company and hence participate in the ownership of the Proposed Office Complex. Unfortunately, this project has not taken off to date hence raising a number of concerns.
2. APPOINTMENT OF AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
It is on this background that, during a joint meeting held between the Council of Institute of Certified Secretaries and the CPS Governance Centre Board, a resolution was passed that an Advisory Committee be formed to look into the concerns raised including the viability of the project as initially envisioned and the shifting property landscape in Upperhill and in Nairobi at large.
The Advisory Committee is to comprise of nine-member team representing various stakeholders.
The Advisory Committee is expected to present a final report to a joint meeting of the Council and the CPS Governance Centre Board within fourteen (14) days.
The Council will share an elaborate way forward when the Advisory Committee report is adopted.
We request for patience and understanding as we conclusively handle this matter.
CS Obare Nyaega
