Silvanus Osoro

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Committee. I sit in that Committee. I attended all the sittings during the vetting process of Hon. Isaac Rutto and the other nominee. What came out is that there is a misconception about people who are actively involved...

I am here. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Okay. Go ahead. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the amount that has been appropriated. The State Department is an integral body of our country in terms of budget and stuff. It is important for us to review and...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am privileged to serve in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. When the Judiciary tabled their request before us, it was actually beyond this. We really tried to balance because of other interests in different State Departments. We tried to push and fit within...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 28 (4) of the Calendar of the Assembly, this House resolves to suspend the morning sitting of Wednesday, 7th June 2023 at 9.30 a.m. The Motion, having been approved by the House Business Committee (HBC) this morning, is to allow Members...

I still have a point.

(Off record) Yes, Hon. Osoro. Is it a point of information or point of order? It is a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Proceed. 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...

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 is clear that medical centres and...

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 even before the Bill gets to...

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 me or you, Hon. Deputy Speaker....

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 off record) Hon. Speaker, please protect...

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 down policies, especially the regulations to...

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

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 with mothers like Hon. Jerusha know...

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 Kisii, who depend on this critical...

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 are limited to oversight, legislation and...

It is the Majority Whip, Hon. Makali Mulu!

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 my responsibility to oversee the funds....

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; which means that the police are...

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. Temporary Speaker, I beg to lay the following...

Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker.

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 do not know how to organise...

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 student from USA and students from...

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 talking at each other, it paints...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House: Reports of the Auditor-General and Financial Statements on the Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council for the years ended 30th June 2019, 2020 and 2021, and certificates therein. Reports of the Auditor-General and Financial Statements...

Hon. 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 period for the Short Recess with...

On a point of order. Yes, what is your point of order? 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...

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 also run his private practice successfully...
