• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with the Committee Chairman. If we are to put that term “senior statutory auditor”, it ought to be defined within the Bill. It also ought to be clear in terms of what the qualification of a senior statutory auditor in Kenya is. Neither the qualifications nor the definition are appearing anywhere in the Bill. Therefore, that provision in Clause 736 is superfluous and I support the move by the Chair to delete it. I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is an important addition. Of course, it removes the term “statutory auditor”, which does not exist in our country. But most importantly, in the marginal note you can clearly see that this is something that has been lifted from the Accountants Act of 2008. While I support, I would have been happier if these two were combined, so that we can form one clause. Otherwise, I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we have to recognize the role of professional societies in Kenya, if this country is to move forward. The amendment by Hon. Omondi is basically to recognise the regulating body of the accounting profession in Kenya. I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is one area for which we must thank the Committee. This is under Part 31 which is on Registrar of Companies, registration of company documents and the marginal title; there is a Registrar, Deputy Registrar and Assistant Registrar. However, the provision as per the published Bill did not establish the Office of the Registrar. So, this is a good amendment. I wish to support it. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to support the amendment. This demonstrates keenness on the part of the Committee. If you look at the marginal notes for Clause 904, they are referring to circumstances in which applications taken are to be withdrawn and in Clause 905 when withdrawal of an application takes effect. The effect of Clause 903 in the marginal notes is the copy of application in reference to the documentation. I support the amendment. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I support this amendment wholeheartedly. I am usually very concerned that we Kenyans have the habit of always voluntarily turning our backbones into rubber bands when it comes to empowering Kenyans. If you go to some neighbouring countries in East Africa, you cannot be allowed to register a company unless you give 50 per cent to locals. Why should we be apologetic about this? view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support and encourage this. We must empower Kenyans and there is nothing to be ashamed about. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is very good. Honestly, as I speak to this law and this amendment in particular, I think the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and his team need to be commended. They have saved this House a lot of time. Some of us had many amendments but since we found that they had been captured, we decided to drop them. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, while I agree, if we are to be a working nation, we should work on Saturday as well. I know our Adventist brothers have a problem with working on Saturday. I agree with Hon. Kang’ata that a working day should be between Monday and Friday, including the two days. Personally, I would have said between Monday and Saturday with a caveat for our Adventist brothers. The definition as it is means ‘Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday’. Something should be done about it.

• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank my good friend, Hon. Duale, for the opportunity to second. As I second the Motion, let me join my colleagues to congratulate the Members of this House for passing this historic Bill. Ten Parliaments in Kenya have been unable to pass the Companies Bill. The fact that the 11th Parliament has been able to pass it is something that will go down in history. It is said that good leaders plan for generations while bad leaders plan for the next election. Members who have stood in this House today have through ... view
