• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: reactive. We rush even in trying to cut the budget of these other arms of Government because of what they are doing. So, we should be very careful when we do this amendment so that we are not seen to be doing something that is going to interfere with the functioning of the other arms of Government. On the other hand, the courts should also be very slow in interfering with what other arms of Government are doing. For example, in Parliament if the Motion has been brought to this House, there is still room that the courts will have ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. I think it is important because many times students apply and they are never informed whether their applications have been rejected or not. Sometimes, there are undue delays which cause undue hardship to the students. I support this amendment. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also wish to support this amendment because it will inject professionalism in the manner in which this practice is carried out. If we just leave it to the whims of those people, they will introduce corruption into it. I support the amendment. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendment because the penalty will deter crooks who move around with briefcase companies. This amendment is very important. I support it. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute to this Bill. I am very happy. Being from a legal background, I know that this Bill is going to really modernise our legal practice, especially in the business area. The Companies Bill 2015 is intended to repeal Cap. 486 and modernise Kenya’s business laws, making it easier for local and foreign investors to set up shop in Kenya. When you look at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons of this Bill, the reasons are to facilitate commerce, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: industry and socio-economic activities by enabling one or more natural persons to incorporate a company in this country. This Bill aims at developing a modern company law to support a competitive economy in coherence and in simple form, taking into consideration the current trends in the regional integration, with particular reference to the East African Community. It aims at reflecting the present day circumstances of carrying on business, including modern patterns of regulation and ownership. Previous speakers have talked about a one-man company. This is an area that this Bill has captured very well. It has been very difficult for ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: This is a progressive Bill that is going to simplify the way we do business and also help people, especially people with disability, the youth and women who normally find it very difficult to form companies, especially now that the Government has given room for them to participate in public tendering. You find that most of the people are using this provision, especially those who are established and have companies, to target vulnerable groups to get business from the Government. I am sure that this is going to help a lot. Previously, you could register a business name before you ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to this amendment. Kenya is a young democratic country. For us to keep growing our democracy, we must allow the existence of these so called small parties. Some of these small parties may exist in certain regions of this country. For example, we may have small political parties in some counties where they may even form the county government, but they may not have presence at the national level. These small political parties in other jurisdictions we may refer to them as regional parties. These parties, if not ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: look at India for example, the current ruling party in India, the BJP was a small party in 1984. It managed only four Members in the national parliament. Right now they have risen from that level to the national and have now formed a national government. If these political parties benefit from these funds, I am sure they may reach the national level and form a government. I support this amendment. Let us make these funds available to these political parties, so that we may grow our democracy in a more civilized way. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to contribute to the earlier clause. view
