• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I want to make it clear that I support the amendments. The integrity of any electoral process cannot be overemphasised. We have lived in this country where we are told by a few individuals that winning an election is one thing but being announced the winner by the IEBC is the second thing. It is important that the IEBC undergoes reforms. Certain amendments are part of the reforms that this House should support. Even as I support, I would want the Committee to go beyond what ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I want to appreciate the reasoning of the Committee and its Chairperson, especially in coming up with a selection panel, so that the appointment of IEBC Commissioners will not rest on the shoulders of an individual or an organisation. We are going to tap into the intelligence of different people drawn from various institutions to give this country, IEBC commissioners, who will reflect the integrity that Kenyans expect from the electoral body. It is important that all of us understand that the integrity of the electoral process has got a lot to do with the individuals’ credibility and integrity. Going ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute on this Bill. At the outset, I support this Bill. I have some reservations which I will bring during the Committee of the whole House. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to be on record that there are two things that Hon. Members have been talking about: One is that this Bill must improve the competency of the directors while others have been saying that this Bill will sort of impart good industrial practice and ethics, which I agree with. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: However, I would like to make it clear that you may have a director who does not have good ethics but is competent. Equally, you can have some directors who are highly competent but they lack ethics. So, this Bill will bring some good practice in that industry that is completely unregulated. I also want to make it clear that if we will ensure that nobody will be appointed director of a company unless they are a member of this institute, we will miss the point. We have scenarios where individual Kenyans want to form their companies. I will sit ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, this Institute of Directors of Kenya is going to redefine and provide new meaning of doing things by the directors such as provision of training opportunities and the minimum basic industrial professional practice. You will agree with me, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: the far a corporation goes in terms of corporate management depends on the competency of the directors. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, if the Bill is refined as we have the opportunity to do so at the Committee of the whole House, it is going to be a game changer in terms of corporate governance and business start-ups. This is because we have very many people who have begun small companies which do not live to see the light of day because of lack of very basic management skills and this is going to take this country forward. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am ready. I was somewhere mourning my colleagues, but I am now back. I support the Report. view
