• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I appreciate what the former Chair of ICPAK, and now the Member for Kipipiri and Leader of the Majority Party has said, but we must appreciate that unlike in the other professions that Hon. Kimunya has mentioned, this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: particular provision is introducing a proviso in law requiring those who intend to train as accountants to join the institute. That denies Kenyans the right to education. Educate Kenyans to become accountants; if you want further professional development, or to regulate accountants who have first been trained, then you make laws that will allow regulation of people who have already been trained. What the Leader of the Majority Party has not responded to is the fronting of the right to education and, secondly, on compelling a student to join an association. The Constitution is clear that no person shall be ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also rise to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. I just want to speak to two issues. The first one is the one we were conversing on the registration and the role of accountants, especially trainee accountants. As it has been adequately articulated by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Nyasuna, following consultations with the Leader of the Majority Party, we have agreed that we can do a further amendment that will exempt trainee accountants from being levied any fee to join ICPAK. That way, we will ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Let me also say, because this is a discussion we have had with the former Chair of ICPAK, Hon. Kimunya, it is time we looked at the Accountants Act wholesomely and not these small amendments. There are many things we need to do. If we want to support the fight against corruption, we need to regulate the accountants’ profession better rather than just regulating those who sit for exams. It is those who are already working and those who seek to work as accountants that we need to regulate. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to speak to the amendments relating to the Universities Act. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, Hon. Koinange will agree with me that even in our television discussions, we see many people whenever there is a terrorist attack calling themselves security experts. If we ask who they are and what training they have gone through, we realise many of them are police corporals who probably left the force unceremoniously but masquerade as experts in security. Therefore, part of the provisions of the Universities Act is to create specialised institutions that will award ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: In finishing, let me also touch on the proposed amendments, although we may have an opportunity to do that in the Committee of the whole House, on the question of telecommunication The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: companies giving data in as much as there is a provision to go to the High Court. We must be careful not to give powers to Cabinet Secretaries to compel organisations like Safaricom and other telecommunication institutes to give our personal data, especially communication from us to people on the pretext of national interest which is not even defined in the proposed amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. We will converse on that one when we get to the Committee of the whole House. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: I also take this opportunity to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Nyasuna, and the Leader of the Majority Party for seeing the logic of protecting trainee accountants because it is something that is very dear to me. I just had a conversation with the Member for Othaya and he told me that he trained as an accountant by just reading on his own. I asked him that supposing we told other young people in Othaya that they cannot train and he trained and qualified as an accountant, what would happen? Therefore, it ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: With that, I beg to support. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: (Kikuyu, JP) Is it the one on the production of data? view
