• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to support this amendment. There are many buildings that have collapsed in the past. With introduction of this new code and new regulations on actualising the codes, it basically means we are putting the industry into order. Because of introduction of digital signatures, you actualise it by coming up with new regulations. view

• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Business Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.80 of 2019). As a Committee, we were given the Kenya Information and Communications Act (KICA), 1998 to look at Clause 83B. When we met the Ministry and the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), they were all in agreement that we need to amend the Act to take into account electronic signatures. In the recent years, there has been a general widespread use of electronic means of communication including electronic transactions for global trade. In this The electronic version ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: regard, electronic records are expected to play an increasingly significant role in commercial practice. Hon. Speaker, electronic signatures are not accepted even now in some quarters, but as soon as we pass this law, electronic signatures and documents are going to be legal.

• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I support the Budget Policy Statement Report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. As the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, we presented our report to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which is very clear. When the Estimates come in April, we want a very close relationship between the BPS and the Estimates. I remember in this year’s Budget, there was no connection between the BPS and the Estimates. As we presented to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, there are some reallocations ... view
