• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point is that these candidates found themselves in that list. If we were to reject this Motion, the way I am proposing we do, there will be no prejudice per se because the process will start afresh. If it starts afresh everyone will start at an equal footing. So, therefore, when we reject this Motion I am not saying that it will not have an effect of having these names adopted by this House. No. It will mean we shall go and start afresh. The Chairlady of that Committee yesterday argued that if we ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I call upon the members of staff to confirm whether the hon. Member speaking contributed yesterday in respect of this Motion. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the proposed amendments for several reasons. First and foremost, one of the objects of this Bill is to comply with the requirement that we free businesses so that East Africans can come to Kenya and invest in the insurance industry. Of course, our law as it is has been restricted to Kenyans. I think that is a very good idea for obvious reasons. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: First, in terms of the East African market, Kenya has an edge. We have a balance of trade and a balance of payment in so far as the East African Community is concerned. But most importantly, in terms of capital, we happen to be the country with the biggest capital base. Again, I would like to call upon the Chairman to ensure, once we enact this law, that he pushes his counterparts from the other East African countries to amend their laws so that we have one uniform law. I am saying this because I have also noted a trend ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In respect to the object of protecting the interest of policy holders, I think that is a very good idea. One of the objects that have been given for this amendment is that once this becomes law, contribution to the Policy Holders’ Compensation Fund will be available for compensation to policy holders in an event an insurance company is placed under statutory management. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that in public service vehicles insurance schemes, several companies have gone under. We had Standard Assurance Company and we know of several insurance companies that have gone under. Very many people who were supposed to be compensated are now suffering and they cannot access these funds because of the present law. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Once we amend this law, I foresee people being able to get money out of that fund. I think this law should have come five years ago. We all know a certain insurance 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 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: company which has a very big headquarters at Upper Hill which collapsed the other day. We all know very many people who have suffered because they cannot access their money or resources. Notwithstanding the collapse of an insurance company, once we do this amendment, people can now access money from that fund. To me, this is one of the most progressive laws that we have. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an issue to do with the argument by my colleagues that we, lawyers, have been frustrating victims in accident matters. I would like to say that out of 100 per cent lawyers handling insurance matters, 95 per cent have been doing a perfect work. Again, the 5 per cent who do a bad job are the ones that are always publicized. view
