• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: petition against the Registrar of Companies for registering some directors and they want the latter to be quashed. That matter is to be mentioned in court on 9th of December, 2009. Another application is by another set of people, directors and so on - High Court Civil Application No. 258 of 2009, which is also coming up for mention on 9th December, 2009. Then, we have another one of the same type, but with different people involved. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what has been happening--- That is why I have said it is an issue of registration of directors, and this company is replete with disagreements between directors over a long period of time. What has been happening is that they have been having annual general meetings, or meetings, where they elect directors who then have submitted returns to the Registrar of Companies. Then there is no objection and then once they are registered, there has been another group objecting to the registration. Then they have held discussions with the Registrar of Companies who has advised them: ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I will really urge the hon. Member to do is to try to bring together the different factions within this giant company. In Kenya today, if you have a giant company such as Mbo-i-Kamiti with a lot of assets or properties and so on, many groups normally emerge with various interests in those properties. That is why we have so many cases. It is necessary for them to be brought together, so that proper leadership is elected to deal properly with the affairs of the giant company.Otherwise, one will be elected and another group will ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said in my answer, it is really up to the members of this company to go to the court to get injunctions – a proper court order. The view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as the wrangling is concerned, the Register-General and the Registrar of Companies have tried their level best to meet the various factions to see how this matter can be resolved. As I stated earlier, they had been advised to form a steering committee of the various factions so that, at least, a general meeting could be held and the issue resolved once and for all. We even advised that in a letter. Do you know what happened? They decided to disobey the advice of the Attorney- General and filed yet another suit in court. ... view

• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (a) The investigations into 18 Anglo Leasing related contracts by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in the UK have not been terminated. They have only been suspended in two contracts where the High Court has issued an injunction order stopping further investigations and prosecution. view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) is doing its best to ensure that the matter is conclusively investigated and money and property stashed abroad are view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to these two contracts, I must say I will be very guarded because of the sub judice rule. We have filed an appeal and it is coming up for hearing on 2nd February, 2010. However, let me just mention something about the two cases, but not go too much into the content. It is the opinion of the Attorney-General that the ruling was completely wrong in law and cannot withstand a proper judgment and appreciation of the issues involved. It went completely wrong. In fact, I am agitated about it because it was wrong. ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, starting with the United States of America (USA), I speak with no fear of contradiction whatsoever by the Ambassador of the USA and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The fact is that they have not succeeded in convincing the two key suspects. One of them was grossly involved, locally, in most of the Anglo Leasing deals. The other one was involved overseas in the same deals. I am not really blaming the FBI; let it not be misunderstood. The fact of the matter is that they would also be the very first ones to admit ... view
