OUNDO, WILBERFORCE OJIAMBO

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Luckily enough, mine is working. I want to ask my colleague the Chairman as he asks for supplementary information, to please add this question. Sexual harassment is not only confined to tea farms in the agricultural sector, but cuts across the entire workforce where women seek...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have argued that this is a House of debate. We should be allowed to debate matters of national interest without being gagged probably by people who can make more noise than the rest. Hon. Oundo, I have given you the Floor to debate. Why do...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, can you compel the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to listen so that he can answer? Or, should I proceed because this is on Hansard and he will miraculously hear what I am about to ask. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. (Dr)...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Legislation transcends national boundaries. It must bring some form of cooperation and pursue the endless form goal of globalisation such that there must be some uniform sets of rules, regulations and laws that wherever you go, if it is an offence of murder, it remains...

I have no apologies to make. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I want to inform the Leader of the Majority Party that I have no apologies to make for taking a very good political stand. I also stand here today to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. In an ordinary situation, there are those people who are well versed in certain areas and those who are not. Those with inadequate understanding should allow those who are well versed to debate so that...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Baya has eaten into my minutes. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am afraid that he has probably not read the Public Accounts Committee Report that we tabled in the last Parliament. If he read it, he would not be standing You have one minute to wind up....

Hon. Chairlady, with your indulgence, I request the Mover to clarify Part (c) where it says “Other persons to make submissions or presentations before the House”. Does it in any way mean that the Cabinet Secretary can delegate to any other person to come and make these presentations to this...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of Order, Hon. (Dr) Oundo? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Baya has raised the issue of attendance at a good moment. In many afternoons, towards 4.00

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand in solidarity and support the Motion by Hon. Nzambia on the issue of the elderly people. As my colleagues have aptly put it, the last registration was done just before the 2017 General Elections to entice the older persons to vote for the...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I had already contributed on this Motion. I am just intrigued by the passion from the Woman Representative for Homa Bay County. The passion is immense and I think she could share the same passion with other counties so that we do not waste time talking...

Okay. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is sad, indeed, that several years after independence, we still have this shameful menace in this country. I listened to the Governor of Trans Nzoia, Hon. Natembeya, who is the former Regional Commissioner of that area. What he revealed was extremely shocking. If that is...

Hon. Temporary Chairperson, I hope the Chairperson of Committee on Budget and Appropriations Committee is listening. The Temporary Chairperson (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Hon. Oundo, he is listening. He is a very keen person. I think the Chairperson is not being very clear. The original published Bill talks of a...

Hon. Temporary Chairperson, I totally agree that they need to finalise the tower. In the fullness of time, I hope PSC will review all the leases and expenditures on rent so that we do not continue losing money that we could have used for more fundamental functions or mandate of...

Thank you for this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank my colleague for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. I am a Catholic from birth and I must declare my interest from the word go. As Catholics, our dogma and teachings are expressly clear on sexual orientation....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Having been a teacher or a lecturer, I can summarise my thoughts. It is inevitable that in any transition there will be a Supplementary Budget; a re- organisation of the budget priorities to fit the new regimes. Article 223 of the Constitution has allowed it,...

No one!

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Petition is timely. It is obvious that Kenya is a water scarce country and many people go without water. Many people travel endless hours and endless kilometres looking for water. Many Kenyans believed and trusted that with devolution, some of these mundane and basic...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to comment on the Petition filed by the Member for Nyatike Constituency. The issue of land matters is emotive and we seem to have lived with it from time immemorial. It is emotive because land has got various facets; socio-economic, legal, and at...
