Aden Duale","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":"The Committee noted that there is need to give the minority shareholders in our country in any company a chance to propose an agenda. For example, if Hon. Oundo and I can buy shares in a company worth 5 per cent but because it is 5 per cent, we will be bulldozed by the majority shareholders. We have realised that this is an impediment to the ease of doing business. This amendment from the Attorney-General’s Office, in concurrence with the National Treasury, wants to protect the minority shareholders so that when members are called to annual general meeting and if they have a concern, they can put it in the agenda of the annual general meeting."}
