Silvanus Osoro Onyiego

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I still have a point.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA)(Off record)

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) It is a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Jayne Kihara and the Member who spoke before her are on record saying what they did using the funds yet we all know that the NG-CDF is not directly under the account of Hon. Members. We only oversee its operations....

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Amendment Bill by Hon. Didmus Wekesa Barasa. Health matters form an integral part of our structure. Our laws also provide that health is essential. After reading and internalising what Hon. Didmus is proposing, it...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I still do not understand what the point of order by Hon. (Dr.) Pukose was about. We are not debating the Act per se. We are only challenging the preliminary objection that is being raised by Hon. (Dr.) Pukose...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, kindly, we need to debate this whole thing without personalising things. If somebody raises an issue to do with lawyers, and I am an advocate of the High court, it does not mean that the whole thing about advocates refers to...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Let me rephrase my statement. I said sometimes some rogue medical doctors or practitioners take advantage of the ignorance of patients. I gave an example. I mean, we all live in this country. We all have patients and sometimes we face these challenges at...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wanted to clarify a point that has been raised by the Hon. Member, who is also a lawyer like myself. He happened to be my classmate. I am talking about some rogue doctors who take… (Hon. (Dr.) Robert Pukose spoke...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) He is shouting at me as I speak. In every profession, we all must agree that we have rogue people. We have rogue lawyers and rogue police officers. We also have rogue politicians, some of who carry stones and sufuria on their heads. We...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Very true. Those people who take advantage of the poor should know that in this particular amendment, we will save the face of this nation. It seeks to bar rogue doctors who take advantage of ignorant patients. It will help to strengthen the laid...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. First is to appreciate you for setting a precedent that a Member can mourn a direct member of her family in this House. So far, this is really a precedent and we appreciate. Those people who have grown...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43, I wish to express my deep concern over the recent closure of Nduru Level 5 Hospital in South Mugirango Constituency, Kisii County, and the devastating impact this closure has had on the residents of...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support the Report by Hon. Mulyungi’s Committee. I want to state that our roles as MPs are enshrined in Article 95 of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution of Kenya. They...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon Temporary Speaker, I am reading the Report.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA)Much obliged. Without mentioning

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) It is the Majority Whip, Hon. Makali Mulu!

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I started my submissions, I said that our roles as MPs are limited to representation, legislation and oversight. If, for whatever reason, this Report had South Mugirango, then it would call on me to give my view on...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The NPS has come of age. We all live in this country and we used to have the police force before the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in 2010. It was thereafter changed to the National Police Service;...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. The position of the Leader of the Majority Party will never be vacant at any given time. In the absence of the Leader of the Majority Party, the Office of the Majority Whip holds the fort. Hon. Silvanus Osoro...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is very ironic that Africa is a rich continent. It is a continent that other parts of the world envy and wish to be in. But our way of organisation sometimes confuses everyone, even ourselves. We...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Please add me three minutes.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Speaker for adding me time. It is sad that a student on a one-and-a-half hours’ flight from Uganda to Kenya or from Rwanda to Kenya pays school fees at Kenyatta University or the University of Nairobi as a...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very sensitive matter that touches on the deaths of many innocent lives. It is time we discussed this matter soberly without blame games. If we, as a country, start casting aspersions, raising issues and...

Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28 (4) , this House resolves to alter its Calendar for the Second Session (Regular Sessions) , as adopted on Wednesday, 15th February 2023, by varying the...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I think it is important for us to maintain the traditions of this House. The Member for Kiminini has crossed the Floor without following the procedure. He has been moving from this side of the House to the other at will without bowing to...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I can confirm on his behalf.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We found out during the vetting that the nominee was admitted in 1992. He has vast experience in legal practice of over 30 years with no single disciplinary case lodged against him with the Law Society of Kenya. He has...
