• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I wish now briefly mention, clause-by-clause, some of the amendments we have proposed to make in this Bill. In Clause 2, the Bill proposes an amendment to introduce the words “abuse of buyer power” into sub-section 4 of the Section 18 of the Act. In its current state, Section 19(4) provides power for the Authority to conduct market inquiries into matters affecting competition or consumer welfare. However, it does not provide for market inquiries focusing on the buyer power issues. This amendment aims to provide for that in order to inform continuous development of buyer power related policies. Clause 4 ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: the ones we have mentioned, the small SMEs who are often taken advantage of in the business relationships that are not based on recorded agreement. In addition, this clause provides for penalties for breach of buyer power provisions. Most important is Clause 6 which amends Section 31 of the Act by introducing sub- section (c) which requires the extension. It gives power to extend the authoritative investigatory powers with respect to abuse of buyer power. Currently, Section 31 of the Act does not expressly include buyer power. It is open to interpretation in a manner that precludes the Authority from ... view

• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Members are losing the argument. We are deleting this Clause to encourage Kenyan farmers to export skins and hides so that we can get foreign exchange. The argument here is that presently in Kenya, we do not have sufficient human resources to add value. It is around this time that we are growing TVET institutions, where our young men can be trained in making hides, shoes and leather products. In the meantime, as we grow capacity, let us encourage Kenyans to export skins and hides so that we can get value and foreign exchange. view

I do not want to repeat what the Chair has said. Allow me to talk about Clause 36. In the Finance Bill, 2018, we proposed an anti-adulteration levy on kerosene. This Bill seeks to amend that clause and provide that the Commissioner shall refund the levy upon written application of a registered or licensed manufacturer, where the Commissioner is satisfied that the levy was paid in respect of illuminating kerosene that has subsequently been used for ... view
