Jared Odoyo Okelo

Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : I want to hear from Hon. Kuria. I will come to you, Hon. Okello.

Yes. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Okay. Hon. Okello. Hon. Temporary Chairman, thank you very much. I thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for accepting the change. We have seen areas where certain sections of the law are susceptible to abuse by...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. What is out of order? Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much for the opportunity. I need your direction because this House has never thrown its hands in the air as a symbol of surrender when called upon to act. Last week, I...

I stand guided. If you have a statement to make, you approach the Chair as a matter of courtesy because under the guise of a point of order, you have gone on a totally different tangent. I am sorry. I stand guided, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am forever indebted to you on your guidance in this House. Hon. Speaker, this is a matter that calls for the involvement of this House to give direction. For the better part of last week, I was in the village and I received many students...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill could not have come at a better time. I thank my brother, Hon. Wangwe, for carrying the mantle we almost abandoned in the last regime. Sugar and sugarcane, by extension, have suffered the most among all commodities in this country. The...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Jared Okello. What is the problem? What is out of order? Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. From the outset, allow me to welcome Chemelil Sugar Academy. On behalf of… We have already passed that. It is on...

Yes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want first to urge you and, on behalf of the Kisumu Central Member of Parliament, to welcome our good sons from Kisumu Boys’ High School. It is one of our prestigious schools in Kisumu County. I thought you wanted to talk about the Petition....

Hon. Speaker, allow me to join my sister Hon. Rozaah Buyu… Order, Hon. Okello! You are out of order. Hon. Speaker, it stems from the directive that has been given to the Leader of the Majority Party.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You are setting a very poor example but I will allow you. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the indulgence. It is true that marauding gangs are having a field day in Kisumu County. The rate at which homes and businesses are being broken into is quite...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, whereas I acknowledge the interest generated by this Motion brought by my friend, Hon. Ruku, I wish we could extend debating time, especially on Motions of this nature. I want to draw your attention to Standing Order 53 to defer putting of the Question to tomorrow so...

I thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the capable Cabinet Secretary, who is an immediate former colleague. Her response to the call of the House is very important and I applaud her for that. Nyando Constituency is known for nothing but flooding. In fact, across the country,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you very much. From the outset, Hon. Kaluma asked why there is a slow pace of issuance of title deeds within Nyanza region. That has not been answered. My supplementary question is that in February, Awasi Lands Registry offices got burnt by unknown people during...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of Order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I appreciate the efforts the Cabinet Secretary has put to try to answer the question. The office got burnt on 18th day February 2023 and we are now in July. Whereas I acknowledge...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. There is a matter of great public interest that touches Kisumu County. I really need your indulgence and directions. On the fateful day, 18th February 2023, the Lands Registry Office in Awasi caught fire on a weekend. All...

Okay. Thank you. QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS

I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I indicated at the beginning, there is a matter that I need your direction and great indulgence on. On 18th February this year, fire burnt down Lands Registry Office in Awasi. It takes care of most parcels of land within Kisumu County, starting...

On a point of order. Yes, Hon. Jared. What is out of order? Nothing is out of order. Everything is in order Hon. Speaker. But Hon. Speaker, the Constitution came up with the Equalisation Fund and if we read that Constitution properly, it was also time-bound. It has been 10...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Speaker this new emerging character of disparaging the media that does nothing but to shine bright light in the dark corners of Government should stop. What is the point of order? We get informed through the media. We also get news through the media. If somebody has beef to...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. It is true that the Speaker gave a ruling touching on certain clauses that were either exempted from consideration or allowed to proceed in light of Article 114 of our Constitution. In case you skip certain clauses outside the decision of the Speaker, it is important...

Hon. Chairlady, I align myself with the fears expressed by my friend Hon. (Dr) Oundo. This amendment references Clause 76. Therefore, one is premedicated upon the other. If we deal with this in a particular fashion, it may have adverse effects on Clause76. Therefore, your direction on this is key...

Hon Chairlady, allow me for the first time to align myself with deliberation as expressed by the Chairperson Committee on Finance and National Planning, that this is just to make it look tidy, and, therefore, there is nothing fishy or suspicious about this particular Clause. For the first time in...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Jared. Order Hon. Makali Mulu. There is a point of order from Hon. Jared. Hon. Speaker, I do not intend to stop my brother from contributing. However, there is a problem that has just occurred with our machines. Since I came...

How do we then track? Some of us forfeited their lunch in order to be here to contribute substantively to this debate. Kindly advise us, Hon. Speaker. (Loud consultations)

My one minute is already gone. Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much, for this opportunity. I rise to vehemently oppose the Finance Bill because it will paint a very gloomy picture on the faces of the electorates who sent us to this House. This morning, as I was driving...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I welcome the decision to have Ajuoga appearing in the list. However, the name Rutto is becoming too much in this country. It is synonymous with the prevailing appointments. Therefore, in line with our constitutional dictates, we have to rethink the idea of regional...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Jared Okello. You have just spoken. What is your point of order? Hon. Speaker, with due respect, I withdraw any inference on the person of Kiprono Isaac Rutto. As a former Member of Parliament, he was part of us in this...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I am perplexed by the pedestrian way of distinguishing the two offices, as exhibited by my colleague. For the most part, the Office of the President falls under the purview of the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Therefore, if there is money to be...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I equally want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for Education for coming to address some of our concerns. During recess, I was home, and I managed to walk around my constituency. To a large extent, the state of junior secondary schools paints a very...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to speak. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for joining us in the Chambers to answer our concerns. I have a matter that sits at the core of my heart and it is a matter I have pursued many times to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the course of our recess which just ended, while I was going round Nyando Constituency, I was confronted by very ugly scenes around the Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) education. It is good to note that even though we birthed JSS during the...
