Robert Gichimu Githinji

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I support the period noting that the Standing Orders also require that a seven-day notice ought to be given to the person to appear before the committee. I also support the amendment so as to avoid rushing of due diligence...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I oppose the amendment and the reason that has been given by the mover that sometimes the screen can display four names at once. It is better to deal with four names than having 20 or 30 people standing across...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. That is extremely important. I believe in future, we should also look at Bills in respect of which some Members have contrary opinions. We have seen debate on some Bills curtailed by some people just by invoking Standing Order 95...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I agree with the last explanation that has been given by the Speaker – that the Bill that comes to Parliament, for example, ought to be sponsored by a Member of the National Assembly so that it would not appear...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Deputy Chairman, the issue of originality is not affected. The Bill comes with an authority for someone to pick it from where it goes next. If it comes here, at least someone is here to pick it up. However, the originality still remains.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP)

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Very well. Then that is a wonderful amendment. I support it.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also support the amount allocated to the NLC. I hope they will use some of that money to resolve and sort out the historical issues that touch on some counties such as Kirinyaga, especially on the Mwea side....

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. They are rhyming. As I support, I would like to urge the TSC to utilise the money in an equitable manner in employing teachers to make sure that all corners of this country get teachers. The Commission should make...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the allocation of money to this Vote. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, I have witnessed instances where the Judiciary was really struggling. I am also a practitioner in the field...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Chair, I was rising in support of the Chair, and also, Hon. Millie Odhiambo in these amendments.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) I agree with the Chair’s proposal but at the same time, I support what Hon. Millie Odhiambo has said that we should at least, have specification of the gender somewhere to avoid a situation whereby these children are mixed up, which may lead to the...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the Approval of the Mediated Version of the County Governments Additional Allocation Bill (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2021) . From the grants that have been given, I note that Kirinyaga County – where...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. While it might not be the right time for the amendment of the elections laws, I seek to allay the fears of some of the Members of this House. This law can only...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment by the Committee. It enhances the issue of regulatory framework for registration licencing and issuance of permits which had not been captured in the objects under the Bill.So I support. (Question, that the words to be left...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP)

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I had consulted the Chairman on this matter and I thought my amendments are more inclusive. We are also seeking to add the Principal Secretary (PS) in charge of the National Treasury to the Board. Under the Bill, we are also...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP)

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP)

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, clause 9 of the Bill be amended –

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment by the Committee. Under the original provision in the Bill, it was not clear in the April 5, 2022 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 55 Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP)manner in which the aggrieved person ought to appeal....

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) It is true, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was involved in the public participation with coffee farmers in my constituency. This provision was a thorn in their flesh. They did not know how they trace their money should direct settlement systems fail. They have a...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to second. (Question proposed) The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Member, I will not take the next steps. I direct that they will be taken when the matter will be set down again in the Order...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the Division of Revenue Bill. Kenyans gave themselves one of the best prizes in terms of creating devolved units called counties when they passed the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The devolved units are important...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am on queue for the next Order, that is, the Coffee Bill. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu) : Let us have Nominee 001, Hon. ole Sankok David.

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendment because this will greatly help our artists. They have been exploited for too long. The existing arrangements have never been formalised into law. I think this is a good thing towards the right...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think the percentages that have been given in the amendments were based on the current circumstances after the Committee probably engaged all the stakeholders. These circumstances are bound to change. We cannot blame whatever had been agreed on...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also support the Chair because this is an amendment that had been passed under the Copyright Act and instead of having a progressive law in terms of protecting the interests of the artists; this particular amendment was taking...

Hon. Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. (Question proposed) The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon.
