Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I think I will simply ignore that as it is not worth spending time on. I have been here long enough. Hon. Chepkonga took some break.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I am simply saying that we must not apply double standards. You cannot on one hand demand of a public or State officer to step aside once they are charged in a court of law, while on the other hand you proceed to...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM)On a point of order,

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I wish to second the Motion for the adoption of the six names to form part of the Joint Committee that will oversee election of Members to EALA. Without belabouring the point, we cannot get the importance of EALA in a wider context...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I actually did not want to say much on this matter. I would like to welcome the Uthiru Genesis School from the great Kikuyu Constituency. It is a constituency that I have fond memories of because it is home to...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, this being a procedural Motion, I will not say much. Before I second it, I want to associate myself with the remarks that have been made on the enthusiasm and interest of Members to make their maiden speeches on the Floor of...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. The appointment of this Committee is obviously a matter which is in line with Article 152 (2) of the Constitution.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you have been keenly following my comments, I have been very careful. I have not mentioned any names and I will not, for sure, at this point in time. I am just trying to lay the basis. It is my obligation...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, allow me to second the Motion for the adoption of the approval of the proposed Members of the Chairperson’s Panel. I wish to echo what Hon. Ichung’wah has said. I have no doubt, whatsoever, in my mind, that these six honourable Members qualify...
