Yes, Cabinet Secretary.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary:

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, let me direct my question to the Cabinet Secretary. We passed the Public-Private Partnership Act, which has very clear steps to be taken before implementing a PPP. You can be gracious enough to tell us whether all the steps proposed in the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I think this issue of the 22 per cent and 10 per cent is now becoming a thorn in the flesh. Once the works are complete, assuming the entire disbursement was done, there is what we call savings. I ask the Cabinet...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also go on record, I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives and I have had the pleasure to process the Bill up to where it is today. 13th November 2024 NATIONAL...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Precisely, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 13th November 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 50 Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)I did not go to law school, but I attended enough units in law. I can read and interpret any judgment. That is why we, in the Committee,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, it is heartening for the Cabinet Secretary to acknowledge that subsequent regimes have treated and discriminated the people of Matayos Constituency and Funyula Constituency unfairly. It is also encouraging to say that he will look at it. When I saunter into his...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I do not know whose mistake it is. I was in the Table Office a few minutes ago, and I confirm that we have not had the opportunity to have copies of the responses that the Cabinet Secretary is coming to give....

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Let me thank the young lady, Hon. Irene Mayaka, for bringing this amendment to the Environmental Management and Coordination Act. The purpose is that it is an Act of Parliament to amend the Environmental...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have been at the top of the log for long, but it is okay. There are two issues here that the Committee and the Executive need to address. One, majority of the hospitals have got legacy debts from NHIF, and...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Committee Chairman needs to be very careful about what he is amending. The parent Act has a particular Section which talks about a vessel used to convey vandalised equipment or appliances. There was an amendment to expand it and make...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I know it might have been overtaken by events. I thought you would allow us to ventilate but now you have already dispensed of the matter. If you look at the Order Paper, they are providing for deletion and they have amendments on 166...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, sometimes we wonder whether some of these people live or not and feel the pain that Kenyans go through for them to propose a deletion to take it to 1 per cent. That would have increased the cost of electricity. Kenya...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I just need a bit of clarification from the Chairman because looking at Sub section 46A, it relates to the appointment of an agency approved by the board to collect and distribute royalties on their behalf through the National Rights Registry,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I would like to request the Chairman to give us further insights on the amendment because he is deleting the entire Section 46E, yet it had subsections (7) and (8) which relate to issues of accounts. He 12th November 2024 NATIONAL...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I also want to support. I sit in the Committee. We deliberated on this matter at length. It cures the discretion of the Cabinet Secretary to give licences that would deplete our critical infrastructure. Where discretion is given to a human being, we have...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, if you look at the Order Paper, amendment (h) states: “ (h) by deleting the proposed amendment to section 46E.” Section 46E has several subsections. That is what I want to understand. He cannot say that what he has not spoken...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. Firstly, whatever happens in Budalangi in the form of harassment also happens in Funyula. Therefore, whatever answer he has provided touches more or less on Funyula. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we want to make it very clear...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me commend the Committee for coming up with the mediated version of the National Rating Bill. I am a happy man today because a number of amendments had been moved when the Bill was in the Committee of...
