Jared Odoyo Okelo

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We must acknowledge we are in a bit of a quandary. First and foremost, our Senate colleagues have done nothing unconstitutional. They have expressed themselves on this fundamental issue, and that matter has been brought to us. Under the spirit of complementarity, we would not...

Nyando. (Laughter) Member for Nyando. I thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Out of the twin Petitions, I want to delve into Hon. Ken Chonga’s one in Kilifi South Constituency. I support it. As my sister, Hon. Wangari has alluded, we discussed a similar matter last week touching on Nyatike...

You are mischievous here.

On a point of order. Thank you Hon. Aduma. Yes, Hon. Jared. What is out of Order? Hon. Speaker, allow me to join my brother, Hon. Aduma, in condemning in the strongest terms possible, the chaos around Sondu. We have since lost 20 people in what may pass for ethnic...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Member for Nyando? Proceed. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that our Standing Orders could be similar. By invoking Standing Order 35, for obvious reasons, allow that question to be put at a later date....

Hon. Temporary Speaker. Kindly allow me for a minute. Yes. What is it? Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Whereas I acknowledge the advancement by the Hon. (Dr) Oundo as regards to Standing Order 35, your discretion equally may allow the Member who was on his feet under Standing...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Makali for bringing this Motion. We, as African society, have lost it all. We chose to embrace the western culture of abandoning our own that made it possible for the upbringing of children to be under the care of every African. When...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Jared? On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You have called out four different items on the Order Paper so far. Unfortunately, my colleagues who are the sponsors of these Motions are not in the...

From the outset, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you. In the same breath, I want to thank my brother, Hon. Salasya, for coming up with this Motion. In the recent days, we have been agonising with a lot of issues pertaining sugar. There is an impending Sugar Bill that is...

He is perpetuating mischief. As I said, sugar becomes the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to mopping up campaign funds. You will realise that during every electioneering period, the so-called unscrupulous business community will be trooping to Government offices relevant to receipt of importation permits of sugar. And because...

Thank you. As we make efforts to revive these sugar companies, we must step back and look at the issues that caused the collapse of all these sugar companies. It is also important to ask ourselves this question: Why is it that it is only the Government mills that are...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Petition on the mistreatment of teachers by the TSC needs to be looked into quickly and addressed urgently. The TSC is known for its notoriety. It has perpetuated certain ills to teachers. Hon. Mbai, my friend and the Chair of the Public...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. In the same breath, I want to thank my brother, Hon. Muriu, a first-timer already looking ahead of the pack. We are debating this because we are concerned about the future generation, which relates to the school-going children...

I hope to get my time back.

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. That was a good banter. A fifth class will be added if we consider the junior secondary section. This means we have to up the NG-CDF allocation so as to incorporate junior secondary. Otherwise, if we are to move by the current budget allocation on...

I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Madam Cabinet Secretary has endeavoured to explain measures being undertaken to incorporate interpreters within our doctors. However, that feeds into one thing. Since time immemorial, I have people with hearing impairment. You ask yourself what happens if they present themselves to hospitals....

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Jared Okello? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have two issues that need your attention, direction and assistance. The first one relates to international travels by Members of this House together with our secretariat. In his wisdom, our...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. That is not the direction I was taking but I was also …

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Taking the cue from my friend, Hon. Kiarie, it is an absurdity that we have an airline that we ought to be proud of as a nation, which is incurring losses year in, year out. Something needs to be aggressively done. All Members...

On a point of order.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is becoming a tired line that lots of lamentations come from this House and the Executive regarding the conduct of Cabinet Secretaries. My brother, Hon. Ichung’wah, has properly captured this matter. Hon. Okello. Let me come to my point, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Okello, what is...

Yes Just rise legitimately. Quote the Standing Order. Check Standing Order 40. The lamentations have come from none other than President William Samoei Ruto.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. GK, there is another point of order by Hon. Jared Okello. What is out of order, Hon. Jared Okello? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, let me remind the House that I raised this matter one day before we...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me just finish raising this important matter. We acknowledge that a letter has been written… What is out of order, Hon. Jared Okello? Before the Chairperson talked about a letter that has been withdrawn, he told us that another letter has been written to collect peoples’...

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Hon. Jared. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We can all recall that I made a Request for a Statement yesterday concerning the issue the Leader of the Majority Party has ably explained. I also confirm that the...

I thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On the same breath, I join my colleagues in congratulating my sister, Hon. Emaase Mary, for coming up with this most important and timely Motion. This kind of crime is not peculiar to Teso South or, by extension, Busia County. This...
