• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The point here is that there are people who cannot give consent for the appointment of an estate administration. That is why we want to have those classes of people where we can go to court and obtain the consent on their behalf because they are unable to. For example, somebody who is under 18 years has no legal basis to consent or somebody who is missing within the jurisdiction, may be somebody who has disappeared. You will be seeing it later. Those are the exceptional cases where we are saying that is where consent may be given not by ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 8 — a. by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)— (ba) in subsection (2) by deleting the words “twenty thousand” and substituting therefor the words “one hundred thousand” view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the justification of the amendment is that presently in Section 8 (2) of the Act where the estate of a deceased is worth less than Kshs20,000, a person entitled to be granted the letters of administration of the estate of the deceased can apply to the Public Trustee for certificate to administer the estate of the deceased persons after lapse of 14 days from the death. The rationale for the provision is that the gross value of estate is not significantly large and need not be subject to extensive process. That ordinarily takes about six months ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Again, it is important for this House to know that these proposed amendments seek an enhancement of the gross value of estate that can be administered from Kshs20,000 to Kshs100,000. So, we want to raise the figure again from Kshs20,000 to Kshs100,000. Those days when this law was passed, Kshs20,000 was a lot of money. However, today that figure is really not significant. We are talking of enhancing the figure to Kshs100,000. That is the essence of the second part of this amendment. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 10— (b) by deleting subparagraph (i) in paragraph (a); and (c) in paragraph (a) by deleting the word “administers” in subparagraph (ii) and substituting therefor the word “administering”. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have a very simple and clear explanation as to the justification. The Bill proposes to render Section 12(2) optional meaning that the Public Trustee to give notice to creditors to prove their debt in either the Kenya Gazette or any other suitable manner. However, it is necessary to have the notice placed in both Kenya Gazette and other suitable manner to ensure that any potential creditor sees the notice. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Bill as it is proposes to only gazette notifications through the Kenya Gazette . We propose that it should be through the Kenya Gazette and the dailies so that as many Kenyans as possible are able to note the notice being issued by the public trusties. We want to widen the scope of circulation of the information in adding other appropriate media like the newspapers. view
• 28 Mar 2018 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
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 13 by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (i)— “(j) formulate, implement and oversee programmes to raise awareness on law of succession and trusteeship”. The justification of this is that this is an additional duty which will be laid on the Public Trustee to conduct civic education on matters relating to the law of succession and trusteeship. Kenyans under our Constitution are entitled to the right to information. The Department of Public Trustees should educate Kenyans. Most Kenyans are not aware of this ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 14— (a) by deleting the words “living with mental disability” appearing after the word “person” in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the words “suffering from mental disorder”; and (b) by deleting the words “living with mental disability” appearing after the word “person” in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the words “ suffering from mental disorder”. The justification is that the Mental Health Act uses the term “persons suffering from mental disorder”. This Act is referred to in Clause 21 of the Bill. It is important ... view
