How do i get rid of a Business Partner/ Director in my Kenyan Company/Business?
Looking to Remove a Business Partner or Director? – Our answer to this question is always through an example comparing a Divorce and the Process of ejecting a Director/Partner from a Business/Company.
Just like a Wedding the period of setting up a company is rosy and the thought of ever separating never crosses the Partner’s minds and hence most of them never care to come up with a prenuptial agreement.
Similarly the process of removing a Partner/Director is often confusing to many and can lead a serious breach of the law if not well executed.
Vacation/Removal of Director can occur as a result of the following;
- When a Director voluntarily Resigns
- When a Director is Removed by Ordinary Resolution of Members
- When there is a Removal by the Court Authority.
- When a Director becomes of Unsound Mind.
- When a Director is absent without permission for more than 6 months from meetings of Directors held during that period.
- When a Director Dies.
- When a Director retires by Rotation under Articles.
- When the Company is Dissolved.
