Anthony Tom Oluoch

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I support the appointment of Hon. Isaac Rutto, I would like to remind him and his counterpart the reason why we have independent commissions and constitutional office holders in the Constitution. The JSC was supposed to be one of those that not only speak and...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Member for Mathare. I would like to confirm whether your gadget indicates that we are on intervention and we are able to make contributions. You have just confirmed that part of this process requires that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I have looked at the figures allocated to this, and my comments are that the figures are way below, considering that we still have many constituencies that are yet to have TVETs, including Homa Bay Town. Hon. Kaluma here confirms it. There are also places...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the Vote, but the allocation is too little. The allocation to the basic education sector should, at least, be Ksh250 billion. I have two short reasons that I want to advance in this regard. It has been close to 10 years, with a...

Thank you, the Temporary Chairman. I am being reminded that you need to announce the change of Chair so that Members do not call you Madam Chair. On this allocation, there is an over-supply. I hope the Budget and Appropriation Committee Chairperson is listening because there is an over-supply in...

Hon. Temporary Chairman and Hon. Ichung’wah, the allocation of Ksh29 billion is well-grounded but with a rider. I suggest that Ksh20 billion should be ring-fenced to cushion taxpayers who would have paid 3 per cent, 1.5 per cent or whatever that percentage is instead of burdening them on what they...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to support this. This is an important intervention for constituencies such as mine where we have many talented young people who earn a living from sports. There is an under supply in this particular allocation which perhaps the Committee could check so that in future...

Even as I support, this is one of the ingenious inventions of the previous administration. I am happy this administration has picked this up for administrative continuity. However, one of the things we need to ask is why our wazee are complaining continuously and for long periods that the government...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also want to ask a supplementary question in relation to what the Cabinet Secretary has said about the school feeding programme, and to seek guidance from him on what steps the Ministry is taking to ensure the informal settlements - and in particular...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Baya for bringing this Petition. I think the Committee needs to broadly look at it in terms of what the Constitution provides. Looking at how land tenure systems change in this country - this is something the Constitution emphatically says that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to support and thank the Committee, led by my senior, Hon. Chepkonga. I have a few points to canvass with regard to this matter. First, who appointed the SRC to superintend over other commissions? Who supervises the SRC? No entity under the Constitution...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for coming up with the Budget Policy Statement. Allow me to first comment on and agree with the Chairperson on the question of timelines. As we were engaging with our respective committees, I do agree that the timelines involved...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the Mover for donating two minutes to me. I have two points I would like to make in the next two minutes. This debate was crucial and important in light of Article 94 (5) of the Constitution, which says: “No person or body,...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Health the following:

On a point of order. Member for Mathare, Hon. Oluoch. Give Hon. Oluoch the microphone. Hon. Oluoch, you cannot be traced on the screen. There is a microphone flipping near you. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I acknowledge the response given to Hon. Pkosing’s Statement request, the House will recall...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank my colleague with whom we are co-moving this Motion. The Member for Mosop has already set the basis that on Thursday 17th November 2022, the Government issued a directive that in effect will allow the importation of 10 million bags of GMO maize....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support and congratulate the member of the public who has brought up this Petition. As the committee looks at this Petition, let us ask the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the State Department for Housing to share with this committee and the House...
