performance. The study was conducted at the NCPB headquarters in Nairobi. The target population was
senior management and directors of NCPB where census method was used since only 64 respondents were
targeted. For both qualitative and quantitative descriptive research, a semi-structured questionnaire was the
research instrument utilised. Ten percent of the respondents were selected by simple random sampling and
participated in a pilot study. Face validity, content validity, and construct validity were all tested. Reliability
testing of research tools involved, error testing such as checking ambiguity, typo and grammatical errors.
Data were displayed using tables, graphs, and charts. The study found out that board independence
influenced organizational performance of NCPB to a great extent in a Likert scale of (1-5). ANOVA had a P
value greater than 0.05 which was the case with coefficient of regression indicating a significant influence of
board independence on the organisational performance of NCPB. Based on the findings, the study concluded
that NCPB should allow board committees and the directors to implement programmes with minimal
direction from outside the organisation.
