  • 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for the clarification he has made, more particularly on the absence of Cabinet Secretaries. In the recent past, I have seen a trend where most committees, particularly those I have sat through, we have seen the Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) appearing, but usually our Questions are directed to Cabinet Secretaries. I wish to get directions whether CASs are legally allowed to respond to Questions. Even previously when we had ministers in this House, it was the Assistant Ministers who were duly elected and sworn in ... view
  • 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. My understanding of it is to have all directors, both in the private and public sectors, brought into one institute, so that it regulates their functions. view
  • 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I have reservation on the Bill, particularly on the definition of a director. In the absence of a clear definition, I have looked at the Bill, particularly Clause 6, where it stipulates the functions of the Institute, among them being a professionally competent body to regulate the conduct of directors, training of directors and providing continuous training programmes for members who are directors as well as providing a professional practice… view
  • 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to associate myself with the sentiments of Hon. Haji who particularly said we should not assume that the issue of directors is a professional body which has some sort of practice. Even where I come from, deep in the villages of West Mugirango, we have some people who have gone and registered their companies and they are directors of different entities. Some of the Kenyans who have registered their entities have not gone to school and these people have formed companies where they are directors and their main business is to get opportunities so ... view
  • 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: An institute is being brought up to train them continuously and issue certificates of competence. My reservations would be where a certificate of competence is issued and in the absence of some members attending, they may be hindered to do their business. If this Bill was tailored to the public entities, then it would make sense. If it was meant to regulate and train directors in private entities, it would make sense but where it has come generally trying to regulate both directors of private and public entities, I have reservations. I propose that the definition of “director” is given ... view
  • 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion. Article 226(4) of the Constitution gives the National Assembly power to appoint professionally qualified accountants to audit the books of accounts for the Office of the Auditor- General. The same Constitution has also mandated the office of the Auditor-General to carry out audits and file reports on the books of accounts of various Government ministries, departments, parastatals, constitutional commissions, the NG-CDF offices and other public entities, in ensuring that public funds are well utilised. I also wish to commend the Committee for the good work it has ... view
  • 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: PKF Kenya, to do this work. The absence of the said accountant to audit the accounts of the Office of the Auditor-General has also impacted it negatively simply because they do not receive donors to support their work. The donors have been insisting that they should also hand over the audited books of accounts which have not been available for the last three years. Since this will be done, we will be assured that the Office of the Auditor-General will also receive donors. view
