Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, as we grapple with this amendment, I support. After every action, there must be a review but what next after the report is submitted to Parliament? Is it just for record purposes? If it is discovered that whoever won the election...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have already dispensed with the matter and so, I second. 2nd May 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 28

Hon. Oundo Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want my colleague Hon. Murugara and the Chairperson to expound subclause 10 which reads as follows: “A person who, being responsible for the publication in the Gazette of the final report submitted under this subsection fails to publish the report within the time required...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Let me speak as he is still looking for his microphone. Hon. Temporary Chairperson, the original Bill that came from the Senate had no mode of communication. In this regard, the Committee having listened to the members of the public, it became necessary to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am proud that the young first-term legislator has caught up well. He now understands the law-making process and is always keen to pick out the technical issues unlike others who talk on generalities. This is an adoptive Bill for counties...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the beauty about legislation is that we keep improving the law. Two very important issues need to come out very clearly. Yes, the Bill is about uniform licensing. We want to dissuade people from believing the licence paid for a particular...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I also echo what my colleagues have stated. Basically, the argument presented by members of the public is that I can choose to start a business anytime of the year. I am not conditioned to start it in January or 1st...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the amendment brings a very interesting case. Probably, the county governments will need to move with speed to designate a public notice board at the county, ward and village levels. Each village must have a formal notice board, where items advertisement...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) No. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : No. (Question, that the word to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Clause 14 as amended agreed to) Clause 15 The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Mover.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, it is just a follow-up on Questions and Statements. Sorry to take you back. We seem to have a backlog of Questions directed to the Cabinet Secretaries to answer here. I have Questions from the other Session. I have resubmitted close to...

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment. I want to draw the attention of the House and the country as a whole to the fact that one of the most important aspects of this amendment is to deal with double taxation. As one moves...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, let me send my sincere condolences, on my behalf and the people of Funyula 30th April 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 54 Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)businesses and everything they had.This is a natural disaster and...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairperson, that is a progressive amendment and we need to support it. But let me go back to the gist of the amendments in totality. I am not so sure whether the National Land Commission has reported that it was unable to...

Hon. Dr. Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I come from a school of thought that everything must have an end-point. It cannot just be an open cheque and an endless process where we litigate non-stop. Even election petitions, as emotive as they are, have timelines. Even the presidential...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands could probably give further clarifications on review of grants and dispositions now that we are removing any time limit. We would be interested to know if...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is very interesting. It is coming on the heels of a judgement by the High Court that said that the Government is not necessarily new to recovery procedures in the event of failure to honour a judgement or a financial...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill of 2024. Most likely, it arises from the discussions of NADCO. We stand here today to debate this amendment Bill...

Hon. Dr Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) How can I be out of order?

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to commend the Decentralized Funds Accounts Committee for the wonderful job they have been doing and to also sympathise with them as well. I hope they are listening so they can receive my sincere sympathy. Trying to...

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I had already made my contribution to this Bill. That is why I am logging out, Hon. Speaker.

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Yes.

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I welcome you back from the short recess. I had already made my contribution on this Bill. I leave the opportunity to somebody else.
