• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Also, there are other options. The financial markets can come in to support as they do in many countries through insurance. You supply but ensure the supplies are insured. If the company defaults with the force of insurance companies seeking payments, they are likely to comply. That is because you can chase them down to their den whether they are in your country The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: or outside the county. The chances of recovery may be less than 100 per cent but you will have an additional force behind you. I think it is important that in our company law, we shine a torch that will look into this. Companies may be registered and when you go the registry, you do not get the beneficial owners or records on them and suddenly they disappear. On many occasions, we have talked to the Registrar of Companies when this happens. You were supplying a company which you thought was sound, but when you go to the registry, there ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We have very many little aspects which, when brought together, will help those small buyers. There is some helplessness. For example, we had small exporters who were selling French beans to companies in Europe. Sometimes, when those companies had cash flow problems, they declared the produce was not worthy. You are in Kenya and this happens somewhere in France and you cannot follow-up. Upon ringing the embassy, they would say they do not know what you are talking about and have no idea. So, the contracting side is very important. I see the law of contract in respect to things ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: In the presentation, a clear problem has been defined but in the solution I am not sure we have the right instruments to fix this. Whereas this is very important, I think it is important for the Movers to see which way we can gear this proposal to focus on the right institution. I do not believe it should be the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK). We should also see if we can use other instruments like the law of contract, insurance and probably banking. As I conclude, just like we do with banks, disclosure is extremely important. If we ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Indeed, as it should be, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I thought I should say something on the VAT issue in respect of what Hon. Mbui was saying. In respect of what is before the Floor, I can only congratulate the committee and say that any efforts towards simplification are very good. The tax code is never simple even when it is simplified. Anything that makes it easier than the prior requirements is welcome. It means you can collect tax at a minimum cost. If there is compliance which is simple, many people can comply. I ... view

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: at the end of the day. That is why it is fair to comment and raise the alarm that any manner of appropriation that yields resources and the resources are not used optimally is something we need to worry about. These issues will come up since we are in the Budget season; the Supplementary Budget is before us. We should not just let things go because we have the powers to appropriate the funds for which we will pay. Sometimes we could have saved citizens in terms of its timing, magnitude and incidents. With these few remarks, I support. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been looking forward to speaking. Those who saw me walk in might think I have just arrived, but I have been here. I rise to support this Bill which I think is extremely important in terms of its intent given the dire need of the target group. The only one thing which bothers me is that since I came to Parliament in 2013, we have had such suggestions but they seem to be kneejerk reactions. We have a Bill which covers one section and then it goes away. I think we need ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: a life of great difficulty. There were many promises which all turned out to be false. I am sure he died a very bitter person in this respect. But this is because we are doing things in an ad hoc manner. Let us have a general principle embedded in law so that people can know how they will benefit irrespective of whether you retire while in good books of Government or bad books of your party or whatever the case might be. I think this is useful because the net cost of things like these is not just the amounts ... view
