Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have been trying to nurse my patience. I am a very patient person. I think the matter before us is a Report from the Organization of Africa, Caribbean and Pacific States and the European Union Joint Parliamentary Assembly, which has properly...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) The Leader of the Majority Party, a man that I respect so much, has gone into lengths to castigate my party leader. I think I will be remised not to offer a rebuttal to him that we have just finished our communique with the general...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. A while back, I had a very good banter with the Leader of the Majority Party. I wish he had waited for me to give him a little clarification. In terms of dispensation of justice, you never...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) You only had Hon. Owino out of 10. I thank you.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you very much for the two minutes. As I said, we need to fast-track most trade treaties. When we were doing the EPA trade agreement in the last regime here, we came to the realisation that we were only doing 5 per cent...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, it goes without saying that we have told people not to throw stones aimlessly past Kericho all the way to Busia border, otherwise 8th March 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 13 Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM)you can hit a doctor or a professor. Going...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I take that back, Hon. Speaker. Suffice to say, Hon.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I hear this is the Government side. I only hear. I am feeling the warmth. Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity and I acknowledge that from where you sit you are expected to be blind. Therefore, let me bring it to your attention that...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Yes, both in the Speakers and Public Gallery. Article 43 of our Constitution pays great credence to access to healthcare and the Edu-Afya Medical Scheme was meant to address issues of health to the students who are in the secondary schools. At this point when...

Hon. Jared Okelo (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me, from the outset, to welcome back my colleagues, the Office of the Speaker and the secretariat in general having been at home during our recess for the last two months. On the same breadth, allow me to express...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Well, it is just like a scenario where a judge sitting before a court of law litigates on a matter and then takes a particular direction, just like we saw during the Supreme Court ruling the other day, when the judges called certain allegations raised...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) The time keeper, kindly give me those two minutes. I was taken aback this afternoon after listening to the Members of National Assembly and the Senate from the Rift Valley castigating their own Government for importing a food consignment. So, if people from Rift Valley...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not intend to cut short my very knowledgeable Chairperson.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the same breath, allow me to congratulate my brother, Hon. Kiarie, for coming up with this Motion. It is informed by the joblessness that has percolated this nation. I will take a different tangent with regard to funding of...
