Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to join my colleagues in thanking Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, the Member for the famous Westlands and probably the incoming governor, for bringing this subject matter to public debate. We have debated this matter for many years, since...

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

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, given the time remaining before the session concludes, I recognise the significance of this Bill to the people of Kenya, particularly in rural areas. I respectfully request that, in your wisdom, the debate be adjourned to a later time so that...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Funyula Constituency, allow me to congratulate and sincerely thank the athletes who brought honour and fame to the people of Kenya.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, on the same issue of identity cards, I will make a request to the Cabinet Secretary. There are very many young people who are joining colleges and universities. They have applied for identity cards and have 13th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just wish to ask this Cabinet Secretary what measures have been put in place to ensure that the NPS or the police adhere to High Court judgment or directive that requires any policeman assigned for purposes of riots or...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) When the Cabinet Secretary or Principal Secretary comes to the House to answer questions, I hope I will be informed, so that we can also raise the issue of intermittent power failures, especially in Funyula Constituency and Busia County.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I know that the issue extends to other parts of Kenya as well. 7th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 21

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I am sending him because he is a senior Member of that Committee.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, sometimes we say “The rich also cry.” The Member representing the Chairman of the Committee and I come from the same county. Whenever it drizzles— not even rains— in Busia County, power goes off in almost the entire Busia County. Having...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am always baffled when we waste valuable parliamentary time discussing someone who does not sit in this House. We were told that within two weeks after impeachment, he would be a non-entity, and that he would be inconsequential as he...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the absence of the Chair and the Vice-Chair, I will undertake to transmit the request for the statement. We request that the Member allow us two weeks after the resumption of the sittings of the House, sometime towards the end...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, as I said yesterday, schools are bleeding. Whenever any money comes to the schools, the education office literally calls for the money to be taken back to their offices. This year alone, I hope the Chairman is listening, they were forced to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I want Hon. Melly to listen carefully, intently and intensively, so that I can remit and commit this complaint.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I sympathise with my good friend, Hon. Melly, and I must sincerely, thank him for disowning the Statement. Thank you.
