• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: That brings me to the conditions of the maintenance of the Office of the Registrar of Companies. Under the current set-up, members of the public who desire to do a public search for existing companies, be they public or private, have a lot of problems accessing that information. Those are basic prerequisites. That information should be managed and maintained by the Registrar of Companies so that members of public can access it expeditiously and get informed to make the decisions that they desire. Indeed, some of the perpetrators of fraudulent transactions make use of that problem in the Registrar of ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, perhaps, I also want to uphold the Bill especially for the provisions regarding the directors. I want to support the speakers who have spoken before me. In this country, we have cases of people who have established companies and are allowed to--- It is like they become rogue directors. They operate completely oblivious of the law. They conduct themselves in complete abuse of the laws and so on. In other words, the standard expectations are that the directors of a company will act in the best interests of the company, will not involve themselves in ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Sorry, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am Njoroge Baiya. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not “Francis”. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to support this Bill. This is also a very important Bill, having regard to the enormous work that is going on in the country, and having regard to the contribution to the economy of this country players in this industry, particularly contractors, are engaged in. More importantly, now that we are being told that construction is one of the leading economic players in terms of contribution to growth, I have looked at this Bill and felt a bit disappointed that it is only establishing the National Construction Authority in the standard ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: The issue I have is that, having regard to what the Minister said, and to the clearly very important contribution that this Authority is supposed to make in the country, it does not really give us the flesh, so to speak. The Bill does not even attempt to give us the substantive provisions that need to be made. There are lots of problems which we would have expected this Bill to address. The authorities’ failure to effectively enforce existing legislations has, indeed, led to a lot of problems and brought about a lot of challenges in this country. If you ... view
• 17 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I wish to support the Minister for bringing this Bill to this House. This is a very significant Bill in terms of pushing the constitutional reform forward. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission is a new institution being created under Section 230 of the new Constitution. Its mandate are specified in the Constitution and the functions as well as the powers the Ministers has in the Act are similar to those that have been set out in the Constitution. These powers vested in this ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government in order to continue misleading this House that the nominating party in this case is NARC(K), when there is clear evidence of nomination by PNU, which is here? I would like to table it before the House. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this very important Bill. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill is extremely critical, as far the country’s reform processes are concerned. This is really the cornerstone for ensuring political stability in this country. We are drawing from the past experience of the electoral fiasco of 2007. Even as we look at some of the proposals that are being made in this regard, we are, in my view, missing some of those very important lessons. To blame the commissioners for the fiasco of 2007 ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Lastly, when we say Kenyans hate each other, at the end of the day, this is a demonstration of the kind of leadership this country has enjoyed. If we scrutinized ourselves, we should be able to understand this leadership. There is one scientific philosopher who said the views that ordinary people hold ultimately reflects the views the ruling class wants them to hold. We have mechanisms of influencing these ideas. We can do so through the media to articulate our opinions and ideas. So, when people hate each other in this country along tribal lines or whatever, it is a ... view
