    "content": "encourage the Woman Representatives in this House to articulate issues of welfare of vulnerable groups. Thank you, Hon. Gikaria. This Bill is timely. We must uphold accolades to him because he is a great leader. The people of Nakuru Town East must be looking upon him for further leadership. I remember the days of Hon. Gikaria as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy with nostalgia. That was before the unwarranted disparages that befell the Jubilee Party and the other parties that thought the best way to deal with things was to purge the Members they felt should be purged. I had problems with energy in Tharaka and Hon. Gikaria would sermon the relevant agencies. As a result of his action, today, I can proudly speak about what he did. Thank you, Hon. Gikaria. I wish you well. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for allowing me speak on this Bill. I have known you from the time you were a young boy in high school. You became a young lawyer. Believe me, I mentored the Temporary Deputy Speaker. He was a nice and obedient young man in high school. I was in Form Five when he was in Form One. He became a young lawyer and found me in the profession. I absolutely mentored him. He is one of the best lawyers we have in the country. When I came here, I found that he had already done his first five years. He now becomes my senior in parliamentary practice. He is now a Temporary Deputy Speaker, and hence my boss. I wish you well. Let the people of Luanda continuously look upon you with favour. For you and Hon. Gikaria, may God bless you and grant you victory as we all go back to the people in August to ask for fresh mandates. I also pray for myself. The people of Tharaka must be watching me as I seek favour from them. With those remarks, I support."
