Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, good tenets of corporate governance dictate that there must be a clear separation between directors and management. Directors should be allowed to issue policy and superintend or supervise. They are not supposed to undertake day-to-day activities. It is so unsettling to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, if there was any clause that elicited emotions, strong and passionate discussions and debate during public participation in villages and various county headquarters, it was the issue of the term limit for directors. It was a very emotive issue. To help...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I want to educate Members that there ought to be a criterion, but that will fall within regulations. You cannot regulate such minor details. We need to give discretion or some powers to the Commissioner so that whenever there is a conflict, they can...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Wamuchomba, please, let me allay your fears. We took care of the interests of the people of Kenya and applied ourselves adequately on this matter. Having been on this Committee since the last term, and having interacted with this matter, I know where...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you. Mpango wa kando is not even English.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I completely agree that things have changed. Men are an endangered species. We live knowing that. We need to be very realistic. Naturally, if you ask the ladies here... Ninety per cent of ladies in this country list their children or mothers when they...
