    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill. Even as I do so, I want to also recognise the presence of one of my schools, Nyangati Secondary School, the beautiful boys and girls at the top in the Speaker’s Gallery. They are products of the best rice in Africa coming from Mwea Constituency. I will also be expecting Kagio Boys to get in later on. I rise to support this Bill with some reservations with the hope that when we go to the Committee of the whole House, we will have cleared most of the issues that have been raised by Members. I have listened to the Mover who happens to be my mentor in matters Parliament, the seconder, Hon. Ochieng’ and those who have reservations. I also want to support but with some reservations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, such an institute of directors is not new to the world. In the UK, the institute of directors was formed in 1903. It is a membership of company directors, membership of senior business leaders as well as entrepreneurs. That company was incorporated by the Royal Charter in UK in 1906 and it is unfortunate that we are discussing in Kenya many years after it was formed in the UK. I think the main issue here is the definition of the term “director”. I find most of us having problems when we try to relate this particular Bill to only public directors that are appointed by the executive. I do not think the purpose of this Bill is to focus on one particular area. Whereas, the public institutions have particular laws and regulations that guard and guide them, the rest of the sector and especially the private sector… I am persuaded that this is the sector that has a lot to do with our economy. The small companies out there that are formed by people who come up as entrepreneurs who have not gone to the university or higher levels of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
