Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Yes. 30th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 26

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Water supply management across Kenya, as a devolved function, is a challenge. It is lacking in every county. People are suffering and do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. Counties seem not to understand what to...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) It is general.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) How is the Ministry curbing exploitation of Kenyans employed abroad? They overwork and are treated like slaves and paid meagre salaries! Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Orders 83 and 245A on Budget Monitoring and Implementation. Hon. Speaker, the 47 County Women Representatives (CWRs) in this country are bleeding right now. All of them have been castrated with a blunt burdizzo. We usually think on...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Hon. Speaker, this is not easy. Maybe it is because I do not have a soft or soprano voice. It came out like a bass. What I am asking is: how do I go to Busia County and tell them that I represent them...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the annulment of the Prevention of Terrorism (Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions on the Suppression of Terrorism) Regulations 2024 in their entirety, published as Legal Notice No. 187 of 2024. This is because some...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, poleni ndugu zetu kutoka kule Coast. This issue has been there for a long time. They suffer in the same way our brothers and sisters married at the border suffer. They have to prove many things. For...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Indeed, Busia produces the best, and we will prove that. I am so proud of the nominees whose names have been tabled. Who could have known that anybody from a village called Siera, in a location called Lupida, in...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a concern. According to Vision 2030, by now, we should be having equal opportunities in education for all children in Kenya. If any student goes to school, they should be assured that they will learn without being...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a lot of admiration for the incoming principal secretary, Hon. Judith Pareno. I bumped into her at the ODM meetings when we were going over the national arrangements. I admired the way she carried herself and her...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I fully support that our bodaboda riders should be safeguarded. Sometimes they learn how to ride at home without knowing the traffic rules or engaging further to understand that they are at risk by not knowing or understanding the...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also request that the additional money be used for the purpose it has been allocated for. I always see teachers, once they retire, suffering and travelling back and forth between the City and remote areas, begging to get...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have gone through the Second Supplementary Estimates and stuck my nose mostly on irrigation and reclamation of land. I have highlighted irrigation because we talk about floods in Budalangi like a chorus every time it rains or there...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill. It is long overdue. The counties are suffocating with so much baggage. I cannot even start counting. If they are given additional funds, I just pray that this time round, anything that is budgeted and...
