• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am planning to do that. The Chair of the Departmental Committee mentioned the institutions that were represented. All of them represent multi-national companies that are dealing with multi-million shillings. Of course, they will be comfortable with Kshs50 million. The issue here is the definition of “small company”. Initially, the Committee had started it off at Kshs720 million and now it has gone down to Kshs50 million. That is what defines a small company - the assets of the company from Kshs360 million to Kshs20 million. There are proposals I had given and I have already ... view

Temporary Deputy Chairlady, instead of what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is proposing that we wait for six months, and then juggle the lives of ordinary Kenyans, I have actually given a sub-clause in this clause which allows for the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to do something.

• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: This affects a number of other clauses. There is this other issue of talking about what constitutes a small company, and which touches on three other clauses which are similar and I have proposed some amendments to them. I am requesting that we reject this one so that we can accept my proposals. Thank you. view

• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: (iii) deleting the word “fifty” appearing immediately after the words “not more than” in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the word “twenty”; (b) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (3)— “(3A) The Cabinet Secretary responsible for the National Treasury may, by notice in the Gazette, revise— (a) the turnover limit set out under section (3)(a) based on the prevailing economic environment; and, (b) the value of a company’s net assets set out under section (3)(b) on the basis of the prevailing economic environment.” view

• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The new sub-clause (3A) will cater for everyone’s needs. I am hoping that the first person who will support me on this will be the Chairperson of the Committee. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as the Chairperson of the Committee has rightly put it, whatever we have passed in Clause 624 cuts across Clauses 625 to 711. So, for purposes of following the Standing Orders, I would like to withdraw my amendment to Clause 625. view
