Omanyo Catherine Nakhabi

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is the first time the hustler Government has rejected its hustler. The description or definition of a hustler is in Charles Githinji. If he could not define GDP, you should empower him because that was your vision. Take him...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I am a member of the Special Funds Accounts Committee. We came up with a few observations, especially with regard to the young lads; those who are seated on my left and on my...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I oppose this Bill with all my might. My mind is spinning with very many questions. On one side, this Government says it is cutting down the ballooning budget and on the other side it is ballooning the budget...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I know that Hon. Ichung'wah is going to abuse me.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Leader of the Majority Party, you are out of order. I am just giving references. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Order, Hon. Omanyo. Order! Are you done? (An Hon. Member spoke off record) Proceed, Hon. Omanyo. You have not exhausted your time. Hon....

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I applaud the Budget and Appropriations Committee and, more so, the Chairperson; for coming up with a prioritised budget this time. One side of the spectrum on the Budget is really commendable, but there are other nitty-gritties that I...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to say at the outset that I supported the Motion that culminated in this Bill. The village elders do not fit in the government’s spreadsheet yet the government depends on them, through the chiefs and the assistant...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is, indeed, difficult to discuss such a topic. Something is dreadfully amiss in our society. I was forced to think that sometimes some people are badly cultured. Apart from being badly cultured, they have some criminal agents in...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The renewable license should be issued once a year. (Laughter) 30th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 26 Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM)Clause 31

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This language that is under seal or incognito is not good even to the Wanjikus or Nafulas of today. Simplicity is better because it is fair to both the lawyer and the other person who needs to also be...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you. This tax issue is a headache. I think it is being implemented haphazardly and it is becoming like somebody gives you snow in your hands and tells you that in a couple of years, the snow will still be in your hands....

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) I want to inform my colleague that if you want anybody to accept what you want to introduce to me, let me also participate. Kenyans are stakeholders; they voted and trusted that we are coming to put their interest first. All of us at...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at the Budget and I realise that borrowing is haphazardly done. It is too much. The rate at which Kenya is borrowing compared to the rate at which development is happening, shows there is something amiss....

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate this opportunity to discuss or give my opinion on the President's Speech. Most of it was like throwing a mare’s nest on Kenyans, because we heard a lot of non-factual information. I have heard people’s praises, especially...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you. Some people are idle and are trying to seem to be participating. I am not forcing anyone to agree with me. This is about what I took in. If it did not go well with what I know or how I see...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Temporary Speaker. When I heard the President giving more and more hope whereas some things had not been fulfilled, in my mind, I thought he should have, at least, done the things he promised without promising more. A time is coming when...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I carefully listened to the President's Speech that day and too many things were a little bit amiss. He mentioned that a gorogoro of maize will go down to Ksh60. Coming from Busia and that being our staple meal,...
