    "content": "In this Bill, people have a right to inspect the register of members. This right can be extended to any of the members at no fee and to anybody else that is interested in knowing who the members are at a predetermined fee. The only thing is that there have to be conditions for this information to be given. The law states that the people who seek information about membership in a company must give their names and addresses. If they represent companies, they should give their names and addresses and the names and addresses of the companies they represent. Most importantly, they should give the purpose for the information because information is not picked for the sake of it. There must be a reason behind this. Basically, the public has a right to scrutinise the registers of any company. So, it is now easier for members or the general public to know who the members of particular companies are. In the process of declaring the interest of the person in knowing who the members are, they are also expected to disclose whether they will share this information with others. If they are sharing it with anyone, the law insists that they indicate who they are sharing it with and why. This is a law that is going to make it easier for us to know who are running and owning our companies. Again, it is an offence to deny issuing this information. If any company refuses to give a register of members to anyone who is interested, the penalty is actually Kshs750,000."
