Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I can see time is almost over. I hope I will get my minutes tomorrow, so that I can complete my contribution. It is sad to sit here this evening and listen to somebody like Hon. Savula,...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my views and support the President‟s Award Bill. It is important for us to note that, in the past, those awards have not been favouring the youth. It is high time we started thinking about the youth...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Yesterday, we were in a Committee where we were discussing some proposals on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. They were brought before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security....

Hon. Gikaria Yes.

Hon. Gikaria I stand guided. I am sorry. As has been said, Hon. Sakaja was very passionate about it. On the aspect of amending the law so that it includes other people other than the youth, that is a very welcome idea. Previously, only the youth were involved but, this...

Hon. Gikaria Hon. Speaker, this particular amendment states that the State shall encourage private and public institutions to employ Kenyans. This is a welcome idea because the State will be required to compel Kenyan companies to employ locals instead of getting the services of expatriates. It also says that the...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to thank the Committee for having labored to come up with this policy. The most important aspect about it is the prevention part. If we continue allowing slums to grow every now and then,...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. It is true that torturing suspects in order to extract evidence or confession from them is not acceptable. As Hon. Kang’ata said yesterday, it is important for us to define persons to be...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to give my views. As it has been said, I totally agree with my colleagues. Hon. T.J has just alluded to the fact that these are laws that we really need to scrutinise properly. When I came...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.95. We deliberated on this Bill for a long time, after which it went back to the Senate. It is good for us to realise that we are just talking about the same things that we talked about...

Hon. Gikaria Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. The Jubilee Government has taken electricity right to the villages, to grass thatched houses and nyumba za mabati, as its manifesto stipulates. All these have got electricity. This is a timely legislation...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As the Leader of the Majority Party has just said, it is important for timelines to be set in the law so that nobody will have the luxury of--- He has said that the National Assembly will do its work within the...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Penal Code (Amendment) Bill, which has been brought by our able Chairman. It is unfortunate that we keep on legislating on issues that are supposed to have been addressed a long time ago. I am...

Hon. Gikaria Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. A.B. Duale has said this is not a very crucial Bill. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Standing Order which we passed, can we reduce the time for the Members to contribute from 10 minutes to five minutes, so that we can hurry? Thank...

Hon. Gikaria I was asking whether we can reduce the time for contributing from 10 minutes to five minutes.

Hon. Gikaria Yes.
