Githinji Robert Gichimu

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) We may approach the definitions in different angles.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity. Parliament has lost Members who would probably be participating in such a debate. Unfortunately, God has found it fit to promote them. I hereby take this opportunity to eulogise Hon. Malulu Injendi. My sincere condolences...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for that compliment.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am continuing and I wonder under which Standing Order he wants to rise on. A lot of research needs to done before this Bill comes into law. As Hon. Bady Twalib, Member for Jomvu Constituency said, there are other communities that...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am persuaded to follow your guidance. The definition of marginalised community encompasses that of (b) , (c) and (d) because after (a) , there is no ‘or’, therefore, it has covered all of them. But if there is an...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. A lot of research needs to be done on this so that we can identify the communities that fall under the definition in the Constitution. We also need to exclude the representation of the Senate in the management, as it...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill, that has been sponsored by Hon. Joshua Kimilu, the Member for Kaiti. I want to associate myself with the sentiments that have been expressed by previous Members who have contributed to...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also stand to support the Motion and happily thank the President of this Republic, Hon.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to approach this matter from two fronts. First, the position of the Speaker has already been outlined under Articles 97 and 106 of the Constitution of Kenya. Therefore, there is no one who can challenge the position of...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion to reject all the amendments by the Senate because it has overstepped its mandate as per the Constitution. Under Article 96 of the Constitution, the Senate is supposed to protect the interests of the counties. It...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Special Motion on approval of the nominees for appointment to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Thank you. As I support this, I abide myself with the sentiments that have been... The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Order, Hon. Members. (Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a stood along the gangways) Member for Thika Town, Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a, you cannot stand between the Speaker...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this amendment as it obligates the agency to ensure that all start-ups receive training to register their intellectual property. This will help prevent them from being taken advantage of by the bigwigs. For instance, when M-PESA was starting, young people...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, every law should not be made in vain. In proper drafting, every law should have a penalty clause. The initial Bill missed out on that. Therefore, the introduction of the penalty clause in this Bill is very important. Regulations that will follow...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, while considering this Bill, as a Committee, we also found out that there are quite a number of terms that were regularly used in the Bill, but had not been defined. So, this section seeks to define those terms for the better...
