• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: As I finish, because I also want my other colleagues to contribute to this matter, I ask the people who will be involved in the census that will be conducted in a couple of months to consider relooking at the merit list of the people they have given these positions. It is in the interest of this country that such jobs should be reserved for jobless graduates and other unemployed Kenyans. Those who are already employed by the Government in different offices should not be given these particular positions, unless we are convinced that there are no other The electronic ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: jobless Kenyans from those particular regions. Such temporary jobs should not be a preserve of those who are already serving in the Civil Service and private sector but they should be reserved for the very many jobless young people in this country. view

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Institute of Directors of Kenya Bill be now read a Second Time.

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Of course, we know that Hon. Ochieng’, by the grace of God and the great people of Ugenya, was re-elected in a by-election and he is now in this Parliament.

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: In the last Parliament, this Bill went through all the procedures even to His Excellency the President for assent. Unfortunately, he did not assent to it because it was presented to him in March. At that particular time, people were busy with the electioneering period and His Excellency the President had raised concerns, which we have tried to incorporate in this Bill. The key objective of this Bill is to establish an Institute of Directors whose core mandate will be helping in enhancing capacity building of the profession of directors. view

We also have seen many lawyers starting law firms and by virtue of shareholding, they become directors.

They may not be having the knowledge when it comes to issues of corporate governance or human The electronic version of the ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: resource. In human resource, you deal with people and there is no way you can start an enterprise where you do not deal with people. If it is a commercial enterprise, there is a financial implication where the aspect of prudence in financial management is very critical. Issues of customer service, audits and tax paying are very critical obligations which directors need to know. When you start a company or a business venture, obviously you want the business to grow. If you want it to grow, it is, indeed, important that you build capacity when it comes to matters of ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I humbly request the Members who are here today and those who were there in the last Parliament and passed this Bill to support it. The concerns that the President had when he sent it back with a memorandum have also been incorporated. It will add a lot of value. I can hear Hon. Wamunyinyi saying he is supporting as he walks out. I wish he could stay for the people of Kanduyi to listen and hear the good things he has to say. view
