OUR VALUABLE RESOURCES THAT ARE NOT IN USE
In our trip to Nairobi, this week, we traversed several printing companies such as The Government Press, KLB and the KIE now commonly refered to as the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).
My attention was caught by Kenya Literature Beureu (KLB) where, there seemed to be more of activities going behind the scenes than actually what i initially knew.
Its sub divided into two sections, one for the children and another for adult people,. where i learnt that a lot of research was ongoing in one of the halls.
The adult section of Kenya Literature Beureu
Kenya Literature
Bureau (KLB) is also a home to some of the world's top authors,
researchers and experts in book publishing and printing.
The Bureau has
invested heavily in new technology so as to offer its customers high
quality prints, strong author support programmes and a nurturing
environment to work, learn and grow.
By continuing to invest in cutting-edge
technology and by providing an outstanding environment for authors from
all disciplines, KLB aims to continue in its endeavour to remain the best
in the industry.
As a step in this noble direction, Kenya
Literature Bureau has made meaningful investments in technology and
acquired an ultra-modern Rapida 105 printing press for swift and
cost-effective production, guaranteeing first job change-over and
ultimate print quality.
According to the KLB CEO Mrs. Eveline Obara, already many of its publications are
getting accolades internationally and KLB has been earmarked to be a
centre for training and servicing of KBA Rapida machines in the East and
Central Africa region.
"We are making a conscious effort to
internationalize the Bureau by establishing publishing and marketing
partnerships in the region". said Mrs Obara
These active links enable us to
undertake collaborative research, develop joint programmes and make KLB
attain world class standards.
"Over the last four years, we have
consistently been top performers under Performance Contracting
initiative that seeks to improve service delivery in the Public Service". Mrs. Obara added.
a smiling Obara briefly winded up the interview by these words; "let us use our valuable resources to gain the required skills that will drive our country forward"
