He welcomes the opportunity and that he can present the New Companies Bill that is in its second reading in Parliament. We shall host a two hour meeting may be a breakfast in the first week of October. There are many ICT opportunities that we need to take advantage of now when the registry has been digitized.

We need to further discuss in ways that we can use the two hours productively. We may need prior discussions on the list first.

Regards

Ndemo.

Good thing you are still with him, here is a suggestion. Why dont you ask him to engage with this community on the (Specifically ICT based) roadmap for making the registration process simpler. Maybe a structured discussion might be able to shed some light on how this can be simplified further or enable those of us not versed with the technicalities of the letter and spirit of the law that might make it impossible to do a name search, register and get a certificate in 5 minutes.

I am still with the Solicitor General and the AG and they are saying the World Bank is reporting historical data. SG invites your Lawyers to see him if there is such delay.

@bwana PS ill have to fault you on that, and unless we are all wrong and your solicitor general is right, here is reference to some of the issues: all can be found in a world bank report that highlights the pitfalls.

It takes an average of 33 days to finalise the 11 procedures for licensing a business in Kenya. It is three days in Rwanda. [ http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Kenya+cedes+more+ground+in+Doing+Business+ranking/-/539552/1220766/-/s2ijvsz/-/index.html ]

Andrew,
This is false.  I just happened to have sat next to the Solicitor General at NESC meeting then I showed him your post.  He says it takes three days flat to register a company.  If you have a problem please see the Head of Department Jane Joram.  If it does not work, let us know where the bottlenecks are then we change that quickly.

If it is your Lawyers then we may not help.
