    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank my good friend, Hon. Duale, for the opportunity to second. As I second the Motion, let me join my colleagues to congratulate the Members of this House for passing this historic Bill. Ten Parliaments in Kenya have been unable to pass the Companies Bill. The fact that the 11th Parliament has been able to pass it is something that will go down in history. It is said that good leaders plan for generations while bad leaders plan for the next election. Members who have stood in this House today have through this law planned for the next generation of Kenyans and I want to commend them. This Bill is very big. I took time to look at it. I will be going to the Adjournment Motion shortly. But before we get to the final stage of this Bill, there are a few things that we should go through. For example, I am asking myself what should come first between the name of the company, the company formation or the company constitution. After you do all that, then you find that the registration of the company is coming in at Part XXXI. I believe that after you form the company, the next thing is to register it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have always said on the Floor of this House that this country is constructed for greatness. If we can sort out the small problems that have been tearing this country apart, we will be like no other in this region. What is not known is, even as the 46th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) (Africa Region) will be meeting, the Executive Committee of the East African Association of Public Accounts will be meeting in Nairobi on Monday and Tuesday. This country is blessed to be hosting the secretariat not only of the East African Association of Public Accounts, but also the 46th Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, (Africa Region). These are some of the things that every Kenyan must be proud of, no matter what their political beliefs are. I want to join my good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party, in telling all of us that we are going to give a good account of ourselves. The fact that everyone is coming here is a show of respect for our country. The only way we can show we are behind our county is by appearing there and not only participating, but also delivering landmark papers that our visitors will carry home as something they will have found in Kenya."
