• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request, Hon. Onyura to second the motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is nice speaking after the Member for Cherangany who thinks that there is a problem with having documents at Parliament. I really think that parliamentarians are supposed to read to make law so that you do not pass things you do not understand. I would like to support this particular amendment. I think the Companies Act by its own sense was one that was radically changing the sphere of registration of companies in Kenya. I really think it is one of those very good pieces of legislation that we worked on. Like the Leader of ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: That in itself is mouthful. Whatever you want to mean in that particular sentence, I think it is one that needs to be refined. This is because what we are trying to define in this particular section is a holding company. The words “holding company” appear three times in that particular clause. I think it confuses things a little bit. view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I think Clause 4, which seeks to amend Section 58 of the principal Act, is a good thing yet fairly very dangerous. This is because it brings to finality what the director is supposed to do. It gives the director latitude in terms of the companies which do not want to comply. The 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
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Registrar has 14 days within which to deregister the company. I think that Clause 4 needs to give those companies a remedy. Whereas it is true that the Registrar, out of his own volition, within 14 days can deregister companies, I think that it is only fair that you also give the companies a chance for recourse, which would be some sort of administrative action. view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: In my view, Clause 8 is useful because it seeks to show what personal interest would manifest and that if every company is going to keep a register of its members, which will include information relating to beneficial owners of the company, it is going to cure part of the problems we have been having as a country where one person registers 100 companies and you do not know that you are dealing with the same person. In various business deals or even when it comes to bids, you end up with the same company bidding several things without really ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: was beating the purpose why we have classified companies in that particular manner. I think that was a really interesting amendment. I think it is a fairly important amendment in Clause 33. I have a particular interest in Clause 37, which chooses to define the word “spouse” as husband or wife. I also thought that they should have stretched the meaning of the word “spouse” to mean “partner” given the sort and nature of relationships that we have in the world moving forward so that at least you do not want to restrict the word “spouse” to only mean husband ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I do not know what is exciting Hon. Duale in the word “partner”. I will be proposing that amendment and I hope the Leader of the Majority Party can agree with me on that particular one. view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I am looking at Clause 51 of the Act. I am wondering why you would want to delete Clause 51 of the Act. I am happy to be schooled. If at all you delete Clause 51 of the Act, my understanding of that particular section is that it was supposed to be a transitional clause. There were previous companies registered under the previous regimes so that if at all you are deleting that particular section, then you are deleting all the companies that were previously registered under different regimes. If you want to delete that particular provision, we need to ... view
• 6 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, it is a nice thing to see you in the Chair in the dying hours of this Parliament. We hope that in the 12th Parliament we will take more robust roles in terms of moving Kenya forward. When I was joining this Parliament, the first Bill that I championed was the Two-Thirds Gender Rule Laws (Amendment) Bill. I came together with my colleagues, Hon. Ken Okoth, Hon. Abdullahi Diriye, Hon. Rachael Ameso and Hon. Stephen Mule to ensure that the spirit of the Constitution under Article 27 is realised. We moved together with ... view
