• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment of 30 per cent. This is because when you compare us with our neighbouring countries--- In Tanzania and Ethiopia it is 50 per cent. Ethiopia makes it very positive because companies are not allowed to employ a foreigner who has qualifications which local people have. So, we should accept this 30 per cent. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support that amendment. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am looking at this as a very critical issue. When you look at the fines and you are talking of “not exceeding Kshs1 million” I think that is too lenient and is not deterrent enough. Look at what has happened to the Kenya Airways. We lost about Kshs26 billion and you are fining somebody Kshs1 million. Surely, does it make any sense? I support the amendment but it should be stiffer to deter people from committing such a serious offence. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am rising on Standing Order No.136. I beg to move that the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House be amended by inserting the words “subject to re-committal of Clause 95 of the Bill”. The reason for this is that when the amendment to Clause 95(5) was brought and opposed, the Chair at that time put a Question for the whole Clause 95 and, therefore, that made the whole Clause 95 to be null and void, yet we were supposed to oppose the amendment to sub- clause (5) of ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for allowing me to support the Leader of the Majority Party in this Motion for Adjournment. This is a very opportune time. Before I say that, allow me to thank Members as we have sat here together for the Companies Bill. This is very historic and I am happy to be part of history. Recently, we had the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) and now we are having this CPA conference in this country. Soon, the Pope is also going to come here. That tells you that Kenya is a great country, and there is ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am sorry to bring this up, but we have had many issues. Last week, there was a Motion by Hon. Keter for us to discuss in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Before that, there was an issue about the Members’ welfare which is under the Catering Committee based on a Motion that came from the Senate. It seems that we are in the habit of postponing the Kamukunji. Once we postpone it like that, then it is going to bring problems. It is high time a decision is made on when ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this Companies and Insolvency Legislation which is a consequential amendment to the two Acts. This Bill, as a consequential amendment, harmonizes the Insolvency and Companies Acts of 2015. Clauses 8 to 22 of the Bill propose to amend the Societies Act to, among other things, provide for the concept of liquidation of societies, the procedure to be followed when a society is solvent and to set out supplementary provisions relating to liquidation of societies. As you are aware, we have several societies and this Bill aligns the Societies ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: out insurance business and places restrictions on insurers providing financial accommodation on security of their own shares. This protects the members because you will find that there are insurers operating in that area where they are not restricted. This consequential amendment restricts that so that we do not have quacks within the insurance sector. Clauses 98 to 123 of the Bill propose to amend the Co-operatives Societies Act to harmonize it with the Companies Act to specify that members’ shares are not subject to attachment. This provides for liquidation of co-operative societies, for the court to set aside transactions that ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. First, I want to thank Hon. David Ochieng for coming up with this Bill. I think it is good for the country. The aim of this constitutional amendment is to bring harmonization. On the county assemblies, we are saying that Members of the MCAs should be there for five years. When you count five years since the MCAs were elected, it puts it at March, 2018. When you say that election of Members of Parliament will be held on 2nd August of the fifth year, it ... view
