I have looked at it from page one to the last page. The only area that I might have an issue with is Part IV. Those conditions that the Mover has put on Part IV are a bit tricky and they might pose challenges in future. Maybe he needs to relook at them and see how he can make it practical to most of the directors. Directors of most companies in Kenya have a big challenge in terms of capacity to manage their entities.
