• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: At Clause 6, these specifications are given. They include the prescribed fee and the minutes of the members. All these are necessary. I had mentioned them before in terms of putting them together so that they can move. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: At Clause 6, one of the critical issues is that the Commissioner or the CECM needs to explain why they failed to register a society and also give time for an appeal to be made for the registration of that society. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Clause 7 deals with the provisional registration. This is where we do not have the full registration yet but the provisional registration that is put into place. The Commissioner or the CECM as the case might be for both national and county will have to look at the application to ensure it complies with the provisions of the Act. They will also ensure that by-laws have been put in place. On the basis of these not being followed, they can reject and only be able to give provisional registration until these issues have been sufficiently addressed. The electronic version of ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: I will just pick certain clauses because each deals with the specific areas I had spoken about. In each of the following clauses that is the format that is followed. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Clause 7 says- “The Commissioner or the County Executive Committee Member shall notify the applicant of the decision to reject an application for registration within fourteen days of such rejection.” It is incumbent upon that cooperative society to put things in place and address them sufficiently. Clause 8 deals with compliance issue and how the commissioner should deal with it specifically and how that can be addressed. In areas, for example, all together, the provisional registration of the cooperative society has been canceled, then the cancellation has to be put in place. People have to be informed. Clause 8 says- ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Clause 8 amends subsection 6 of the primary Act. It says- “Where a co-operative society which has been provisionally registered under this section contravenes subsection (3), the co-operative society and every officer or person who purports to act as an officer of the co-operative society commits an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand shillings, or in the case of a continuing offence to a fine not exceeding one thousand shillings for each day during which the offence continues.” My time is almost running out. I see I have just about two minutes. ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: At Clause 54, it seeks to amend Section 85 of the Cooperative Societies Act to provide for the qualification of appointment as secretary and the functions of the secretary. Clause 55 of this Bill seeks to amend Section 86 of the Co-operative Societies Act (No.12 of 1997) and restore the power to establish branches of the tribunal to the Judiciary Service Commission (JSC) in consultation with the Chairperson of the Tribunal. Because the issues of societies are very broad and involve a lot of the things that I have addressed in this Bill, it becomes very incumbent to ensure that ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. Wambua to second. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. Yesterday, there was the launch by the President for the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), which is really the hope of the whole education system and moving towards competency based rather that the rhetoric sort of objective reasoning we have today. It was empirical and just cognition without application in terms of the framework. I think at this point all these matters are very critical. As that Statement is coming to the Committee on Education, it would be very critical for the committee to look at it very broadly. There are ... view
