I also support because the Chair has explained the reasons why it should be deleted very well.

Hon. Speaker, that is interesting. Members are never absent. They are doing other useful activities for this nation. I support this Bill and thank those who have taken their time to go through the principal Bill which, as many of us saw when it was tabled, was really voluminous with several pages. I am not surprised that maybe as part of cleaning up, we have quite a number of pages that are amending the same. It is a good thing. It is timely. Looking at it, I have noted that it is mainly cleaning up areas that had typos, repetitions, ...

Hon. Speaker, I hope it will also help in minimising the kind of mischief that is committed at times through companies where people with con tendencies set up a company quickly to perform an illegal activity and quickly either dissolve or discard it.

We have had many cases where a company is involved in shady or questionable deals and when the Press tries to find out those who are behind such companies, we hear that files cannot be found and that they are lost. I hope in these amendments and ...

It is encouraging to see that the issue of conflict of interest, be it from family members, both close and extended, is being addressed just to minimise it and also to ensure transparency and objectivity, and of course to protect the shareholders. The fact that there is provision for fairly strong penalties for cases or any breach of the provisions of this Act, is also a good thing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

that makes me feel quite happy to support the Bill. There is provision of ways of communicating with members of the companies for purposes of improving it. Another important thing here is that as we continue to empower our people, particularly those disadvantaged like the youth, women and persons living with disabilities; it should be made easier for such groups to set up companies and use them to compete for tenders or related business activities as our part of empowering them.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. In fact, I support it in principle. It is true that there are certain areas that might need cleaning up and improvement. I think the principle is right. The Kenyan people, exercising their rights and choices at the time of making the Constitution, decided that elective and appointive positions should conform to the two-thirds gender rule. It is upon us in this House and all the other Kenyans to ensure that, that is fulfilled. That was a way of providing an affirmative action to ensure that, that happens. ...
