Caroli Omondi

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Rt. Hon. Speaker. I raised this matter on 6th October, as my first statement in this House. The question was, which of the coalitions was the Majority Party in this House? The courts have made that decision somewhat, by not...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker and thank you very much the Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have the pleasure in seconding the Motion that the Senate amendments to the Gambling Control Bill now be considered. As the Leader...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by saying that I fully support this proposal and was the first to sign it. Secondly, let the word go forth from here to the rest of the world that NG-CDF will never die...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM)

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Give me just one minute. Read the abandonment decision in Clause 34 (f) (2) of the current draft. It says that it shall be deemed extinguished once the Commissioner-General communicates with the Cabinet Secretary. In other words, the waiver has already been given even...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture on the Budget Implementation Monitoring for the Financial Year 2023/2024 for the following State Departments:

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture on Budget Implementation and Monitoring for the Financial Year 2023/2024 for the following State Departments laid on the Table...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I brought up this issue a few weeks ago. The delay is more in the processing of the Bills. I have three Bills that have to go through the Budget and Appropriations Committee before they proceed to the...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) We do not share that view. So, may we be heard? The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Yes, proceed. Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, banks generally are not supposed to be uniform. By insisting on a uniform core capital...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) I have not finished. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We need to understand why we are doing this kind of things. If you begin to categorise financial institutions as micro and the rest, you are basically excluding certain segments of society because that categorisation...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Yes, the Suba fraternity. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary speaker. It gives me great pleasure to recognise the good work of Hon. Sen. Asige and our very fine young lady, Hon. ‘Renny’ Irene Mayaka. She is doing a very good job. She is...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. My preference would be that we retain the requirement for a PhD. We have had situations where people who are perceived by their peers not to be eminently qualified to lead are imposed on institutions of higher learning or...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Both Hon. Millie and Hon. Kaluma are right. Hon. Kaluma is trying to bring purity into the framework, while Hon. Millie says that there must be a framework to house the purity. We should avoid the deletions as well as incorporate the amendments that...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Hon. Kaluma is right in terms of licensing. It is a preserve of the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council, but we need a repository within the Ministry of Health of all the information relating to Assisted...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also thank Hon. Kimani for giving me the opportunity to second this Special Motion. I have known this gentleman for quite some time. During my days at the University, he was slightly ahead of us. I...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am very thrilled by the passion I am witnessing amongst Members on this particular issue. All the bad habits we see in the counties have actually been transplanted from the national Government. We are doing an...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) It is simple mathematics. Your 24 percent includes 15 percent, but the 15 percent from three years ago is not the same as the 15 percent today. It’s as simple as that. This misinformation will ultimately be passed on to the county government. The...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by congratulating my dear sister, Hon. Irene Mayaka, for keeping this matter alive. I first came across this issue sometime in 1994 when I was drafting the Environmental Management and Coordination Act. It was...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. Thank you, Hon. Lillian Gogo, for bringing this matter to the Floor of the House. I agree with the other speakers that the transition has been very bad on this matter. Patients with chronic...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Firstly, let me congratulate you on your prediction that President Trump would win. I am not very happy, but you were right. I owe you a drink. (Laughter)

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) I will be very brief, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. As a matter of fact, and law, the lease of Government land, whether owned by a parastatal or directly by the national Government, is actually privatisation. So, when the...
