Item The effect of automated information systems on the Kenya County Government’s operationss, a case study of Kiambu County Government(Egerton University, 2017-11) Muraya, Brenda WairimuInfonnation and Communication Technology (ICT) is a very dynamic field. Throughout many centuries it has evolved and improved greatly. The use of the internet has globally received great acceptance. This has led to various organizations, businesses and governments embracing Electronic Practices (E-Practices). Governments have embraced this emerging trend and have automated their processes with the aim of better serving their citizens. Kenya is a growing economy and the global pressure has forced it to embrace E-Govemance practices. Primarily, the objective is to improve the welfare of citizens through the provision of public services and infrastructure through the Local and National Government. As a result, ways to improve their operations are being discovered. Hence, they implemented the Automated Information Systems (AIS) at the county level to simplify their various operations. This study aimed to establish the effect of implementing AIS on the County Govemment’s operations. Their operations were classified in tenns of transparency and record keeping as well as supervision while the AIS was operationalized in terms of the Zizi System, the County Pro System and the IFMIS. It employed complete enumeration survey method whereby, the population under study was Kiambu County and data was collected from all twelve sub-counties in Kiambu. The researcher targeted the (Information and Technology) IT manager, Finance Officer and the Revenue Officer in each of the twelve sub counties giving a total population of 36. Descriptive research design was used and the study used primary data to test the hypotheses under study. The researcher distributed stmctured questionnaires through a ‘drop and pick’ method. The data from the questionnaires was then screened and entered in readiness for analysis using the (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) SPSS software. Multiple regression was later used to test predictability of the variables given the others. This study determined that the implementation of the Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) has had an insignificant low positive effect on the county government’s operations. However, the implementation of the County Pro System and Zizi System has had a significant positive effect on the County Govemment’s operations. Therefore, this study established that, there is a significant positive effect on the county government’s operations as a result of implementing the Automated Information Systems. However, it is recommended that the county govemment should increase awareness of the systems; increase the use of IT to heighten operational performance; level up the use of the IFMIS; and level up the implementation levels of the AIS in the counties.Item Effects of Micro and Macro Economic Factors on Bank Liquidity in Kenya(Egerton University, 2021-11) Chepkirui, Stella SoyLiquidity is the ability of a bank to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses (Guidance on Liquidity Risk Management, 2009)Liquidity can come from direct cash holdings in currency or on account at the central bank. More frequently, it comes from acquiring securities that can be sold quickly with minimal loss. This states highly creditworthy securities, comprising of govemment bills, which have short term maturities. The topic of this study is to determine the effects of micro and macro-economic factors of bank liquidity in Kenya; the specific objectives are; to determine the effects of macroeconomic factors on bank liquidity; to determine the effects of microeconomic factors on banks liquidity and to determine the combined effect of macroeconomic and microeconomic factors on banks liquidity. The study used the following theories to guide; Commercial Loan theory; The Shiftability Theory and the Anticipated Income Theory of Liquidity. The researcher used descriptive research design because it obtained information conceming the current status of bank liquidity. The population of the study consisted of 37 commercial banks in Kenya as of 2016. A census study of all banks that have been in operation for the past 5 years were included in the study. This population is small, therefore, there will be no sampling. Multiple regression analysis was applied to the data to examine the effect of level of customer’s deposits, loan growth, capital adequacy, profitability and other effects macroeconomic factors on bank liquidity in Kenya. The results of multiple regressions suggest that the selected independent variables explain more than 10.8% changes in the net profit. By analyzing the other statistical results of multiple regressions we found that the results are very much consistent with the simple regression. All the results are not statistically significant and overall the study provides an idea that macro and micro factors are not the basic determinants of profitability in the banking sector. So it can be inferred that this promising and potential sector in Kenya can flourish very fast and enhance profitability by improving its liquidity position and operating efficiency. The government as a bank regulator through the CBK should adopt policies that ensure increased bank performance. Strict conditions of minimum liquidity and capital should continue being emphasized on to ensure none of the banks has lower of the two. Increased bank performance leads to general economic growth.Item Determinants of Capital Flight In The East African Community( 1988-2018)(Egerton University, 2021-11) Otieno, Joshua ShemItem Effect of Performance Contracting Aspects on Strategy Implementation in Public Corporations in Kenya(Egerton University, 2021-07) Kabuga, Stella GacheriItem Effect of Porter’s Competitive Strategies on Organizational Performance of Public Corporations In Nairobi County, Kenya(Egerton University, 2021-11) Mulei, Meshack MutindaItem Employees Attitudes and Response towards Corporate Social Responsibility - A Case Study of Safaricom Limited(Egerton university, 2003-07) Kivuva, Peter KatikuItem Evaluation of Factors Affecting the Performance of Stockbrokers in Kenya(Egerton university, 2012-03) Maobe, Asenath KenyanyaItem Evaluation of the Influence of Public Procurement Regulations on Procurement Practices in Public Institutions - A Case of Secondary...(Egerton university, 2011) Kenyanya, Patrick NyateteItem Factors Determining Credit Accessibility by Small-Scale Entreprises - A Case Study of Jua Kali Artisans in Nakuru Municipality(Egerton university, 2004-11) Otieno, Ezekiel JumaItem Factors Influencing Information Technology Utilization in Public Universities - A Case of Egerton University(Egerton university, 2006-08) Mwangi, Muriuki GathuaItem Factors Influencing IT Implementation in Schools-The case of Nakuru Municipality Secondary Schools(Egerton university, 2006-09) Thuku, F.WItem Factors Influencing Students Choice of Universities and their Relationship with Marketing Strategies used by Universities in Kenya...(Egerton university, 2005-05) Wacira, Ann WItem Influence of service quality differentiation strategy on customer loyalty in commercial banks within Nakuru municipality - Copy(Egerton university, 2012-05) Kibithe, Tabitha WangariItem Innovation and the perfomance of financial technology companies in Kenya(Egerton university, 2023-07) Nyamao, Issac NyantikaItem The Effects of Strategic Marketing and Technological Innovations on Growth - The Case of Commercial Banks in Nakuru Town(Egerton University, 2012-10) Ogari, Keraro JacobItem The Impact of Performance Appraisal on Secondary School Teacher Development - A Case of Koibatek District, Kenya(Egerton University, 2008-07) Cherono Kipngetich.Item Talent Management Practices, Perceived Organisational Support and Retention of Academic Staff in Universities in Kenya(Egerton University, 2021-11) Ngero Kiragu LeonardItem Stock Market Performance and Economic Growth in the East Africa Community(Egerton university, 2021) Kaiboi, Ruth JepngetichItem The Effect of Privatization of Public Firms on Investors and Firm's Profitability(Egerton University, 2010-10) Moses KaibosItem The Role of Strategic Marketing on Organizational Performance - A Case Study of Commercial Banks , Kisii Town Kenya(Egerton University, 2006-07) Moindi, Mose Stephene
