James Opiyo Wandayi

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Ningependa kumweleza Mbunge wa Jomvu, Mhe. Bady Twalib, Fula Ngenge, kwamba nyumba nyingi zimebomolewa hata kule Milimani, Kaunti ya Kakamega, eneo bunge la Lurambi. (Hon. Bady Twalib stood up in his place)

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Vilevile, nyumba zimebomolewa katika Kijiji cha Msambweni, Eno Bunge la Voi. Nilikuwa na nafasi ya kufika mahala hapo, na nikajionea mimi mwenyewe wananchi wakihangaika na kufurushwa kutoka katika nyumba zao. Hata Changamwe, mwenyewe nilizuru mahali pale pamoja na kiongozi wangu, Mhe. Raila Amolo Odinga. Nilisikitika...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of information.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, first and foremost, the Statement that has been issued by the Chairman of the Committee dealing with NG-CDF, my good friend, Hon. Musa Sirma, is thoroughly underwhelming. At the very least, if we were to take the Chair seriously, we expected him to...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As I second the Motion, I take this opportunity to welcome my fellow Members back to the House after a fairly long recess. It has enabled us to interact with our constituents and Kenyans in general. Hon. Speaker, this...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Wandayi? Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) I just wanted to comment on the Report that has just been tabled by the Leader of the Majority Party on the National Dialogue...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Wandayi? You should not have woken him. Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Baya is my friend, but it is wrong for him to insinuate that I...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) The House might not be in a position to transact any other business. The House will be in order to decline to transact any other business in expressing its sympathy with thousands of children of poor Kenyans out there. They are children of hustlers who...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) If it must be dealt with now, it would mean, therefore, that the House might not transact any other business, in my view.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) If I am hearing my colleagues well, it is an issue that must be dealt with now.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The person supposed to be on a point of order is Hon. Wandayi and not Hon. Mbui. Proceed Hon. Wandayi. Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of order...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Yes.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I intended to raise this point of order much earlier, but all the same this is an issue that requires the attention of the whole House. It is an extremely important issue and I seek your guidance, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I know...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) No, it is a point of order. Let us move on since, I have already called out the next Order. Hon. Members, please be calm. I already called out the next Order because debate on the other issue had already expired. Let us proceed to...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) You know in this world wonders will never cease. The Constitution is very clear and I do not want to belabour the point. This is because I think my colleagues on the other side are clearly agreeing with me even if they are not saying...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) I am addressing very weighty issues that require the attention of Members.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. POINT OF ORDER SUB-JUDICE ON DEPLOYMENT OF OFFICERS TO THE MULTINATIONAL SECURITY SUPPORT MISSION TO HAITI

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on Standing Order

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Following your ruling and guidance, I now wish to contribute to this Motion. I start on the premise that the National Police Service does not fall within the ambit of what is provided for under Article 240 (8)...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was saying that Article 240 (8) of the Constitution, that we seem to hide behind by purporting to process this deployment of the National Police Service to Haiti, simply talks about deployment of national forces outside Kenya. Article 241 of the...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) How I wish my colleague did not interrupt me. He has clearly not added any value to the debate.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) If you look at the composition of the National Security Council, it also has civilians, including the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. So, are you saying that the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are members of the defence forces? Are you saying we...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) The more you listen to these colleagues of mine, the more you get amused. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if it is the case that the request for the Kenyan Government to deploy its police officers to Haiti came from the UN, can we have a look...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) You cannot use our police women and men as guinea pigs at the altar of rent-seeking because we know for sure that the motivation for this misadventure is money. People want to use our hapless police officers as guinea pigs in their bid to get...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, is it in order for the Leader of the Majority Party to turn this debate into a debate on the person of the Leader of the Minority Party, and more so to attempt to classify me as Bantu-cum-Nilote? How does that relate...
