• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was worried that this Committee wanted to kill the intermediary services, brokers or commission agents. I am satisfied now. I am reassured because they have done a report in which they have examined Clause 10 of the Bill and they are wording a responsive amendment to Section 156 of the Act. view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Commission agency or insurance agency is known all over the commonwealth countries as a commercial contractual practice. It is ingrained in all the businesses that you do with all the insurance companies. It is unthinkable that you can do away with this practice which is many years old. It is the agency or commission broker who approaches a customer and explains the product. He is able to adapt himself depending on what the customer wants. He reassures or tells the underwriter exactly the needs of a product. If you had a situation in which the agencies were not provided for, ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: work. So, I was very apprehensive. That is why I waited for so long to have a chance to contribute. They want to criminalise intermediary services in place of the underwriters. view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Having heard the text that has been read to us by the Committee, it seems that it is now bearable. They can now start from there and see how to improve it. I also think that to criminalise commercial transactions is not the way. One has to get a more proactive approach to get people to do business and make it easy for them. I have a comment. I have looked at Clause 10. We need to look at these underwriters because I had an opportunity to look at many of the contracts which are being given by county governments. ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Another comment I must make is how this Bill has been presented. First of all, I congratulate the Committee because this Bill is a product of the Committee. It is not quite a Cabinet Bill. I looked at the objects and reasons of the Bill. I did not see any of the objects or reasons that reflected Clause 10 of the principal Act, which was in the heart of this Bill. They say other things, but they are not brave enough to say that they want to kill the industry. They should have said that, so that we meet it ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I have a comment to do with the Policy Holder Fund. First of all, I was in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that drafted the Insurance Act. I have looked back at the Act, which prescribes the policy holders, but it does not give regime for regulations. It is just fun. It does not have regulations. The Committee intends to take the penalties to this Fund. This is not correct. If this is meant to be a fine to dissuade these people from not remitting money within 30 days, then we need to make it a fine, ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It is a good law subject to the amendments that will be brought by the Committee. If they do not bring them, we can assure them that we will bring those amendments because we cannot allow this Bill to go the way it is. Otherwise, it will be the death of all insurance companies. You can imagine that you have a situation in which you have a car accident and you still have to wait for the insurer to make this compensation, and yet you have the broker who is at your door who can write his own cheque and ... view
• 14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are on the amendment. Let us use our time correctly. We only have one hour to debate this Motion and already… view
