Gideon Ochanda Ogolla

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to quickly mention a few things that, in my view, Kenya needs to be very careful about. First, is the place of museums. If you compare the place of museums in this country to other parts of the...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Ministry and the Cabinet Secretary are really struggling to sort out a problem in this country. That is why we have these banding issues. However, as we look at that, they are trying to target the more than 130,000 students....

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I know Prof. Lukoye. He has been into this for a while. Committing suicide is never instant. There is a process before it. Many things may have happened before one decides to take his or her life. However, there are situations where we...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Speaker, this is a serious menace. The whole issue of the conflict between Kenya and Uganda, particularly with our fishermen, is a menace. Once this conflict is addressed, there will be peace in the region. We should completely determine our boundaries, even if it...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a good effort in terms of showing Kenyans that counties get much more money, regardless of whether their functions are done by themselves and are funded by themselves or from different sources. It is a very good...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion based on the timing. These Supplementary Estimates are coming at a time when precedence has been set. A Finance Bill has been rejected for the first time in this country. We are doing this...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. The issue of KP and Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) is critical. Power is sourced, transmitted and sold through several different entities, which do not include REREC yet the later constructs the lines. Once...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to partly support the Bill. The bit that I support is the logic and practicality behind the difficulties we face from time to time in terms of movement of goods and services. On the other hand, there is...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I rise to support the Bill, there are three things we need to look at very keenly and they are disasters, emergencies and crises. We have to define or place them exactly where they belong so that we are...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Bill attempts to sanitise regional development authorities. They have important roles but, in this time and space, their time is gone. All the things that they have been listed to do are also done by other authorities. The Constitution...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My neighbour is right. This is exactly what I was indicating that fish is found all the way from Busia to Migori. If you want an authority to handle all the economic issues across our counties, then RDAs are the...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to talk about two basic critical principles. The first one is why we make laws. Second, is the necessity of governments. We make laws to guard against what we do not want to happen to us. That is...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Education shapes societies and governments. This is the investment that governments all over the world do to train human resource. When we mess up with it, we mess up the entire country. Since the exit of Mbithi as the Examination...

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The whole idea of... (A Member spoke off the record) Hon. Kimani messed up when he was talking about the dual carriage way. He forgot about the Kiswahili bit in it. Anyway, that is why I am not using it, Hon....
