Jared Odoyo Okelo

Thank you for the opportunity. I join you in welcoming our colleagues back from the recess. I thank you for specifically walking this House through the journey of reclassification of hardship areas. Through your efforts, you invited the Prime Cabinet Secretary, who took us through the journey of the new...

Hon. Speaker, whereas I read it in the mainstream media, which has a degree of authenticity, I take your direction and will submit a supplementary question on this matter so that the House leadership can give an authoritative answer. Go ahead and do so. I will approve it for you...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I also join my colleagues in supporting this most progressive Bill from the Senate. It should not be lost on us that these are our children, brothers and sisters, relatives, friends and we are connected with them in various ways....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me to make it clear that… Hon. Jared Okello, you came late. This is the second round we are calling for that. You start by apologising to the House. That is what I am coming to, Hon. Speaker....

Hon. Speaker, allow me to congratulate our gallant lawyers. I also congratulate you for leading the team through this. We are finally getting our fair share. Today, there was a pronouncement from a court of law that seems to injunct this House over a Bill that is yet to be...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have an issue that needs your attention, but it is not related to Kibra and other fires. Last week, our constituencies received communication from Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) offices with regards to reduction of allocated funds towards our rural roads. This stems from a court...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity. I want to support the Motion on the Ratification of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. Fish is a staple food in Kenya. The story has it that consumption of fish provides Omega-3 which helps in brain development. For any family that wants...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to support this Report by the Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education. In line with what my colleagues have said, it is really a worrying situation that we compromise the quality of education through the report that has come on how...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in supporting the Motion before us of passing the name of our dear sister, Her Excellency Caroline Karugu. I have known her since our Azimio la Umoja days. Although the country was balkanised along Azimio la Umoja and...

Hon. Speaker, indulge and pardon my peripheral Question, but this regards the hardship classification. Hon. Speaker, We will come to that later. Yes, Hon. Gikaria. We are dealing with operationalising units.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. The substantive Speaker made an undertaking that I would be given an opportunity to prosecute a matter not directly linked to the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. However, under the spirit of complementarity and collective responsibility, the...

Hon. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. I may have inadvertently lost the thread of events, because I was waiting for Questions and Statements. I thank you for your indulgence. It is the eleventh time I am raising the issue of classification of hardship areas.

Hon. Speaker, what we are talking about now concerns a report that was written by a multi-agency team that was headed by the Ministry of Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management. It delved into areas where the hardship allowance is deserved. Therefore, it informed a new gazettement of those areas....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating those elected Chairpersons and their respective Vice- Chairpersons. We hope and pray that they will deliver on the promises we make, both as a house and the Executive wing of the Government. I was asking Dr Nyikal, who...

Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity. Zambia actually came up with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) way ahead of us. When our parliamentarians in the 10th Parliament were writing the laws around the CDF, they borrowed heavily from what was already existing as the CDF in...
