Kenya Gazette Highlights for 16 January 2009

Monday, 19 January 2009

In this issue: Giraffe Manor taken over by Tamimi Ltd from Saudi Arabia, labour relations and collection of trade union dues, Mama Ngina and others to lose land to government for infrastructure construction, and new CCK license applications.

Restrictive Trade Practices, Monopolies and Price Control

The Acting Minister of Finance, John Michuki, has authorised the takeover of the tangible and intangible assets of Giraffe Manor Ltd by Tamimi Ltd. Built in 1932 by David Duncan, the Giraffe Manor is one of the oldest luxury safari resorts in Kenya. Located a few kilometers from Nairobi city, it borders on the Ngong Hills to the west. Tamimi Global Company Ltd. is a Saudi Arabian hospitality company. Its entry into the Kenyan market is an indication that the tourism industry is still considered to be a viable venture.

The Acting Minister of Finance has also authorised the takeover of Alitaki Safaris Ltd by Stefano Cheli and Elizabeth Cheli.

Labour Relations and Collection of Trade Union Dues

The Minister of Labour, John Munyes, has made orders that every employer who employs more than five members of the Dock Workers Union-

deduct 2% of the basic salary every month in respect of trade union dues from the wages of his employees who are members of that trade union. The 2% deduction is, however, capped at a maximum of KES700 from the basic wages of each employee per month.
pay within ten days of the deduction the total sums deducted by closed cheque made payable to the Docks Workers Union into the unions Account No. 16-1093734 at the Barclays Bank branch in Mombasa, Nkurumah road.
pay within ten days the sum of KES50 deducted from the wages of each employee by crossed cheque made payable to the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Kenya) into the organisation’s account no 140-792-7 at Barclays Bank, Queensway branch in Nairobi.
notify the trade union and the organisation in writing and within one month of the payment and,
make written returns to the registrar of Trade Unions within one month of making all the payments to the trade union and the organisation.

Land Acquisitions

The Commissioner of Land has given notice to former first lady of Kenya, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, of the intention of the government to acquire parcels of her land for the construction of the Nairobi Eastern By-pass Road. In total, Mama Ngina will loose 19.6 hectares of land.

Mama Ngina will be able to lay claims and raise any other queries at 9.30am at the District Commissioners office in Kiambu East District on 3 March 2009.

The Commissioner of Lands has also notified seven land owners of the government’s intention to acquire land for the construction of Timboroa-Eldoret-Turbo-Webuye and Malaba. Over five hectares of land will be reclaimed by the government for the construction for the intended Eldoret to Malaba road.

Similarly, several small parcels of land will also be acquired for the construction of the Keroka-Nyangusus Phase II Road Project. Interested parties will deliver their compensation claims to the Commissioner of Lands by 2 February 2009.

Application for Communications Licenses

The Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) has received two applications for licenses from Econet Wireless Kenya Ltd and Fanaka Online Ltd.

Econet Wireless is applying for licenses to enable them to provide service provider and international gateway services for their clients. Fanaka Online is applying for a internet service provider license.
