Governance and Ethics Hub
The Institute of Certified Secretaries (ICS) is a statutory professional membership organization established under the Certified Public Secretaries of Kenya Act, Cap.534, operating under the National Treasury. Our core mandate is to promote good governance and sustainability across public and private institutions. For decades, we’ve led the way in corporate governance standards, professional certification, and continuous professional development (CPD).
However, the world is changing, and so must we. The demand for deeper, more accessible, and future-ready governance education continues to grow. We recognize that our current facilities can no longer fully meet this need. This is why we are developing the Governance & Ethics Hub, a state-of-the-art facility that responds to this urgent need while preparing for the future of governance and ethical leadership.
