• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 18 of the Bill be amended─ a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following paragraph “(b) has at least ten years’ experience in public affairs and management”. b) In sub-clause (3) by deleting the word “five” appearing after the words “term of” and substituting therefor the word “four”. The reason why we are saying this is that what is contained in the Bill is too limiting. We are saying that person must be experienced in matters of registration. What you are doing is that you ... view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Ordinarily, this is a very complex job. As Hon. Gumbo can remember, when we passed this Bills he admitted that the Insolvency Bill and the Companies Bill were too bulky. You cannot give somebody who has just come out of university a job which requires experience. When you come out of university, you are more theoretical as opposed to being practical.

• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: You need someone who has had hands-on experience in terms of registration. So, I would like to persuade him that this is good. We thought 10 years’ experience was less because we wanted 15 years’ experience. From your plea, 10 years’ experience is good. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 19 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by— (a) deleting the words “or misbehaviour” appearing in paragraph (b); (b) deleting paragraph (e). One of the grounds on which the Registrar-General can be removed is misconduct and misbehaviour. The term ‘misbehaviour’ has never been conclusively determined by courts of law. What has been conclusively determined is ‘misconduct’. To say somebody has misbehaved is vague. Talking to you badly is misbehaviour. It is vague to have somebody removed from office for talking to you badly. So, we agreed ... view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 28 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “to be prepared” appearing immediately after the word “report”; (b) in sub-clause (4) by deleting the word “publicized” appearing immediately after the words “and shall” and substituting thereof the word “publicize”. We are seeking to correct typographical errors in the clause. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 31 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “Until the Board is constituted and has competitively recruited staff in accordance with this Act, and substituting thereof the word “The”; (b) by deleting sub-clause (2). We want to ensure that public servants who are currently working at the Office of the Attorney-General are retained as the members of staff of the Service as opposed to terminating their services. Issues of employment have become very difficult in this country. These people have experience. ... view

• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended in the definition of “Cabinet Secretary” by deleting the words “Cabinet Secretary for the time being responsible for matters relating to business registration” and substituting thereof the words “Attorney-General”. We are seeking to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary as defined in the Interpretation Section is the Attorney-General. This is because the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons of the Bill clearly states that this is a parastatal under the Attorney- General’s Office. Therefore, we are aligning that definition with the Memorandum of ... view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Of course, I support what the Mover has just said in terms of removing reasonable period and making it certain. That is, clarifying that it should be one month because reasonable period could also be six months. The other one that the Cabinet Secretary should publish in the KenyaGazette all approved applications is very good. People should not hide things. We do not want people to issue authorization without letting Kenyans know. With regard to the other one of within 180 days of coming into force of this Act, it is important that it ... view
