Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

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.

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...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have had this debate severally, but we seem to be making no progress. I concur with my colleagues that it is time we either act or live with this mess forever. We have the advantage because the substantive...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I hear the story of Moi University, my heart bleeds. I left the University of Nairobi to come here. We had challenges but we managed to weather the storm. It also happens that my second born graduated from...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Land Control Bill (National Assembly Bill No.39 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. For the record, this Bill was published in 2022. It was first read in February 2022, but as was the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Again, as my colleague mwalimu raised issues, exactly what kind of report are we envisaging? What we have here and what the country has does not lead anywhere. What kind of report are we envisaging to be submitted to the county assembly? What is...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I totally concur or agree with the Committee. At times, county governments overreach themselves. The small departments in counties, which are without value to the lives of the people should not be involved in very complicated matters like these ones. Once it has gotten...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)Yes, let me conclude.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)Under what Standing Order?

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) It is good that Hon. Kiplagat has a mood meter that measures the mood of the House. I will conclude with the issue of the sugarcane catchment areas and the process of appointing or electing members to the Sugar Board. I see here that...
