OUNDO, WILBERFORCE OJIAMBO

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Cognisant that the minutes are almost gone, I hope as per the Standing Orders, I will be allowed to continue when this Motion resumes. We are living in interesting times, indeed, that somebody who is not authorised by law or the Constitution can write to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was going to protest in the loudest of all the loud noises I could have made. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I was saying before my time elapsed in the morning, yesterday, the Hon. Speaker presented a Message from the President. He said that pursuant to...

How?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is noted. My colleague from Endebess also needs to know that the Leader of Majority Party in the National Assembly is none other than Hon. Ichung’wah. He is not the President of the Republic of Kenya. Probably, he also needs to record that in...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sorry, the microphone is not working. I have displaced a serious Member of this House who handles very serious issues for Members. Article 94 of the Constitution is clear that the only body in this country authorised to make laws is the National Assembly....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Chairperson of the Committee is misleading the House and the nation. Number one, I do not know which Members he is referring to. If they are Members of Parliament, then he is completely out of order. In the NG-CDF Act of 2015, Members of Parliament have...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, my name is Dr Ojiambo Oundo, Member for Funyula, Busia County. Yes, I know you are the Member for Funyula. That is one of the most important constituencies in this country. The Temporary...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the National Agricultural Policy 2021 whose theme is “Food: Our Health, Wealth and Security”. We have a history of policies that address various thematic areas in this country. We are quite often obliged to undertake a review and develop a...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to the Motion at hand. I want Hon. KJ to be patient as he has always been because his constituency is just a walking distance compared to mine which is far away. I stand here to make my contribution to...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. This is an emotive debate. I wish, as Hon. Wanyonyi has said, we could have been allocated more time. This debate should not lose focus on the principles of land administration and Articles 60 and 40 of the Constitution. The drafters of...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, listening to Members’ contributions, knowing how emotive land issue is and reading the mood of the House, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 53 (3) to request that the Question of the Motion be deferred until a time the House Business Committee will decide. Thank you, Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to comment on the Petition concerning pollution and generally the issue of petitions as a whole. Industrial development, as I have always said, should not bring negative impacts to the communities. They should add positives to the community. It is therefore important that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this emotive debate. I support the Motion and appreciate the Mover for bringing it to the House. The issue of GMOs has been debated for many years. It has since morphed from one level to another. We...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to comment on the Petition that has been presented by Hon. Atandi on behalf of the investors. For many years, the country and the capital market have struggled with avenues to raise capital for investment. Of late, there has been a plethora of such...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development the following question:

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order? Hon Temporary Speaker, I have listened to the presentations by various Members and I have listened to your statement especially the last one. In view of the fact that we are unable to debate the merits...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which was presented before this House by Hon. Beatrice Elachi. As we stand here today, it is on record and various Government and international publications note without any doubt that the SME sector; the informal...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on being nominated to sit in the Speaker’s Panel. With your immense experience, I believe you will moderate debate in a sober and focussed manner. Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution of Kenya bestows on this House the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, let me sincerely congratulate you as my neighbour on being appointed to the Chairperson’s Panel to preside over sittings. Before I formally second the Motion, let me also take this opportunity to thank the people of Funyula Constituency for giving me a...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have tremendous respect for Hon. Baya. I served with him in the last Parliament and he came across as a very sober-minded and objective Member of Parliament. I do not know what happened in the journey from Damascus to wherever it is. Honestly speaking, I...
