Jared Odoyo Okelo

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In supporting my brother, Hon. Baya, this is a reflection of what happens across the country. It is true that land matters are quite emotive. There is a pending Report called the Ndung’u Land Report which has gathered dust for very...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. I join my colleagues in welcoming the Women’s League in the House. It has been over a century now since our women started fighting for what I would term as their birth right. I am very perturbed that...

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

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know we shall substantively discuss this at the right time; the issue that has been advanced by my colleague here. He talks about a particular amount of Ksh2 billion. Can he substantiate by providing data as to who carried out the...

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

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I did not come here to listen to lies by the Leader of the Majority Party. The Act was amended.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) The Act was amended by the same regime that is now claiming that we cannot be party to what is going on. In January, that amendment was made. Let him talk on the repealed Act by themselves.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was also quite interested in the topic of discussion and I was placing myself on a seat because I understand this is your pet subject, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, I want to apologise for crossing the Floor unnecessarily, but...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you. Just before we began the Sitting, this House was full. I am disturbed because our colleagues from across the aisle are not in this House. I would like to know whether they are safe wherever they are and what...

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

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I seldom engage in altercations, especially with people who claim to have some leadership roles within this House. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have been mentioned quite adversely by the Leader of the Majority Party. Firstly, I decide...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, lately—I mean you gave him a lot of time to speak so let me also respond. Lately, my very good friend Hon. Ichung’wah seems to be…

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Member for Nyando, one minute while we allow the point of order from the Hon. Member for Ainabkoi. Hon. Samwel Chepkonga (Ainabkoi, UDA) : Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 83. It is very clear in the Standing Orders that no...

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

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) 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) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. On the same breath, I want to also support the appointment of our brother, Hon. Shadrack 2nd March 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 15 Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM)Mose. He was a colleague here. He was such a humble...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I take that back, Hon. Speaker. Suffice to say, Hon. Shadrack coming from the Gusii Community where we have had lots of complaints about alienation when they were giving out the positions of Principal Secretaries, this will feed into helping the Gusii Community come to...

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...
