• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Today, you are in the mood of calling us by all our names which is very good. There are some who have realised that my name is also James Mathenge. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, for this opportunity and I rise to second this important Bill. On the outset, it is not a big one and there are not many amendments to be done on it. I also hasten to say that it is not the Bill that has brought contention. There is a Bill that is already with us in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill that has created a lot of heat which I believe will be coming next week. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I want to make it clear that this Bill does not have many issues. As a Committee we have gone through it and submitted a Report to this House, of course, with a few amendments that will be brought during the Committee of the whole House. Secondly, it is good to note that this is a third Bill that is attempting to amend the same Act. As a Committee sometimes we felt that it would have been better if this Bill is reviewed in a holistic way rather than bringing piecemeal amendments here and there. This is because three amendments ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: However, as a Committee we have taken this positively. We interacted with stakeholders and the Ministry and we are in agreement on most of the issues raised here. As the Mover has clearly said, it is more of a house keeping issue and also aligning the Bill with the Constitution as promulgated in 2010. We mostly want Members of Parliament or Members of County Assemblies removed from being Members of the board, removal of the Controller of Budget in audit matters and also removal of the Second Schedule that is referred to which does not exist. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Also fundamentally, it is creating an ICT platform where audit matters will be dealt with. This is very critical as we move forward because it will help in terms of timeliness. Reports will be submitted in real time and this will improve efficiency in how cooperatives and SACCOs operate. It is important to note that SACCOs control assets in excess of Kshs1 trillion and they have deposits of over Kshs500 billion. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, in this kind of a sector without prudent management investors or people who have deposited money in those SACCOs tend to lose their savings. This has happened in the country. We are also happy that the Committee through the other amendments has put in place measures to ensure that officers charged with the responsibility of running SACCOs do their work diligently and avoid the kind of losses we have been seeing earlier. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I do not want to go beyond that because most of the issues were dealt with by the Mover. This Bill does not have a lot of issues but the small issues we will prosecute them during the Committee of the whole House. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendment to the Industrial Property Act, No.3 of 2001 by— (c) deleting the proposed amendment to section 12 subsection (2); view
