10 May 2017 in National Assembly:
Clause 16 of the Bill proposes an amendment to the Insurance Act to allow the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to make regulations or guidelines on the supervision of insurance groups in relation to mitigation of group risk.

As per the Statutory Instruments Act, it is the function of the CS to introduce or make regulations or guidelines that will enhance the supervision role of insurance groups.

Finally, Clause 18 of the Bill and it is a small one, proposes to amend the Insurance Act by removing the provisions on reinsurance premium levy which have been deleted in this Act.

Indeed, the sections that are now being addressed in this particular Act are of critical importance to the operation of the insurance industry and for the common good of Kenyans who use those services. Indeed, I support these amendments and I think many details have been given by my colleagues because it is a very brief Bill. What I want to add is that the insurance industry as a sector needs to do a little bit more than what it is doing now. ...
