Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, we are responsible Members of Parliament. We are leaders in this country. We swore to uphold the Constitution of Kenya. Those of us who sit in the Public Accounts Committee which I have sat in since 2020 know this. Every year,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party misled the House. This particular Supplementary Budget has an increase of Ksh18 billion above what was approved by this House. I just wanted that to go on record. I can inform him because he was...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I do not know what is out of order, because it is my contribution, it is my debate. So, I do not know what is really out of order. Secondly, the country is going to host the AFCON. We must move with speed to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also sat a word on this Supplementary Budget Estimates II for 2025/2026 Financial Year. Ironically, as much as we want to be very polite, supplementary budgets basically indicate some kind of shortfall or failure to plan properly...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I do not want to debate. When the Chairman was moving, we were distracted because there were quite a number of colleagues in front of me. Is it possible that the Chair repeats the reasons for seeking extension of the consideration period...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Funyula Constituency, I convey my condolences to the family of Hon. Gideon Konchellah. I served with him in the 12th Parliament. We were also in the same Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to comment on the first Petition. My colleague has clearly said that the second Petition was brought here in the last Parliament. I hope it will be dispensed of. These are some of the challenges we had as...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Chair has repeatedly mentioned Busia. I want it to go on record that because of the impropriety and the weak control systems, many constituencies in Busia have not received fertiliser since the long rains of last year.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement on behalf of Kenyan journalists employed as staff members or freelancers by international media houses regarding the systematic exploitation, racial discrimination and violation...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Millie has answered for me. When we give a figure of 20.9 per cent, that is erroneous. We are basing on Estimates of 2022/2023 yet we already closed the accounts and even the audited accounts for 2024/2025 are...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) No, I am not referring to the Temporary Speaker. I am just referring to my colleagues, for example, Sir George. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we need to be very clear and we need to be factual. I do not want to blame Hon. Atandi because...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I come from a county that borders Uganda. The issue of trafficking of narcotic drugs and especially bhang and related drugs, is becoming a big menace. It is slowly and surely destroying our young people. We, the people of Busia, hold the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) What is your point of order? Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I have due respect for the Leader of the Majority Party because he requires a lot of effort...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) This is a House of debate and records. This kind of exchange should be encouraged as many times as possible so that Kenyans understand that Members of Parliament are not merely voting robots, but they have brains, and they can debate. The Temporary Speaker...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to make this submission, and I hope I will not lose my slot to contribute, as I was next in line. You have asked for information which you can google anytime, anywhere. If you allow me, at the end...
