• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Whereas under the old Companies Act we just had a passing reference in the definition that there will be a Registrar of Companies, here you have a whole chapter devoted to the Registrar of Companies and his or her powers. That is on page 1495, part 24. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you can see, the Bill has four Schedules attached of forms and everything else. So, that task force, to me, has come up with the best law on the companies. If this is enacted, I know as a fact that it will be the best company law in this part of Africa, being the latest and taking into account the best practices from the region. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: The company law is the basis for commercial activity in this country. Therefore, an early passage of the Companies Bill, which is long overdue, is required. I do hope that we shall have a very good debate here and take on board good suggestions so that we come up with the Companies Law. Personally, I am very happy that I have survived long enough to move this Bill, which has come out as a result of the task force that I appointed way back in the 1990s. It is not just a task force which looked at this. I also ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to thank hon. Mutula Kilonzo, who seconded this Bill. I also want to thank hon. John Michuki, hon. Njoroge Baiya and hon. Njuguna for their positive contributions, which clearly highlighted the spirit of the Companies Bills that we are now enacting into law. I am very grateful for the comments they have made. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think I under-estimated the length of time it would take to debate The Companies Bill. I have prepared to move this Bill, but I have not come with my notes on it. So, I cannot move it today. view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This is a very important Bill because, as you are aware, the economic development of any country depends on construction; whether it is the construction of roads, buildings and so on. You sort of judge the development of any country when you go there and you see a lot of construction taking place. What this Bill is trying to do now is something dear to my heart and that is to professionalize the construction industry. If you look at other professions, be they advocates, doctors and others and you ... view
• 24 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to be in a situation where we have professional contractors in charge of the construction industry so that whatever construction takes place in this country is up to the mark. We want to be in a situation where, ultimately, we can even begin exporting constructors out of Kenya to do construction work outside Kenya. There are a number of Chinese companies which are now here and are doing a very excellent job. So, from that point of view as a professional, I support this Bill and urge that it be adopted without any ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.76 to make a Personal Statement. Last night, Nairobi City Council askaris invaded my house and my son was there. My family that is living in South C along ole Sapare Road is now in danger following the demolition of the whole of the servant quarters of my house by Nairobi City Council view
