• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Yes. I did not, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much for giving me the chance to also contribute to this important Bill. I want to start by thanking Hon. Kaluma for bringing it to the House. The Constitution of Kenya (CoK) is very clear in terms of what the Government is comprised of. What is clear is that we have three arms of Government: The Judiciary, the Executive and Parliament, which is the Legislature. When you look at the spirit and the word of the Constitution of Kenya, it is clear that these three arms of Government should ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: will say this matter is before the courts; let us not debate it here just to respect the fact that courts have a responsibility to interpret the Constitution. So, I want to support this Bill and urge Hon. Members also to support it, so that we pass this important amendment to make us free to do our work without any interference With those remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me the chance to contribute. We agree that we cannot raise the numbers as it has been said but it is important that we put the record straight. Before Constitution of Kenya 2010 came into being, the problem with the earlier Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) was that it was not anchored in the Constitution. There was a strong push on the basis of governance matters to have it anchored in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: the Constitution. We are talking about two constitutional commissions which are independent. What we are trying to do by these presidential amendments is putting one commission under another bearing in mind that these are two independent commissions. This is wrong. Could it be done by anybody else? I am not a lawyer but even from logical thinking, it is wrong. I cannot support this. It will go through but we need to tell Kenyans that this is wrong. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While listening to Hon. Omondi, the fear was only in a situation where the Official Receiver appoints without consultation. That is already taken care of in the Bill. So, I agree with my colleagues that he needs to withdraw this amendment, because his fears are already taken care of in the Bill. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also want to support this amendment. It is a very important amendment. We have seen those practitioners at times taking a lot of resources from the people who are in problems. I want to thank Hon. Omondi for introducing this amendment. If I were the one, I would have introduced the issue of the time- frame so that we also give them the time-frame within which they can do their work.

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues to thank the Committee for the work well done. This Bill is important to this country. As a Member of the 11th Parliament, I am happy because a few weeks ago, we managed to pass the Companies Bill. We are all aware that once you are born, you must die. I am happy that companies have a legal framework on how they will be formed and dissolved. This is important because we are making the whole process professional. This is going to safeguard Kenyans and those who ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to also give my contribution to this important Bill. The Business Registration Service Bill is very important. It has come at the right time, just immediately after passing the Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill. This Bill is going to help this country come up with a very clear legal framework in terms of how to register companies. This has been an issue in this country. Those of us who have tried to register companies and visited the Attorney-General’s Chambers must have realised that there are a lot of ... view
