Silvanus Osoro Onyiego

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Anytime I listen to the former Deputy President speak, I cannot help but to wish that there was another way to have him brought back to this House to be impeached again for the second time or even...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Social Protection Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 12 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I also ask the Hon. Member of Kwanza to second.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Much obliged, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You are all aware that we are proceeding on recess for a month. I can only commit two weeks after the recess.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding mining machinery belonging to Rio Kavirondo Limited, seized at Rongo Police...

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

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I also want to inform the House and the Prime Cabinet Secretary that South Mugirango borders Migori County and Narok County. I heard my neighbour, Hon. Rebecca, speak about hardship areas in her area. She actually spoke on my behalf because we border and...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party was a drama teacher in school. He speaks with a lot of expressions when making a point and that is very good. What we are seeking in this Procedural Motion...

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

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is not my wish to interrupt my learned senior, Hon. Millie. This is unrelated to her submission. I see that Hon. Gisairo is not properly dressed for the Chamber. He is actually in sneakers or sports shoes.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleague, Hon. Makilap, in welcoming all the students to the chamber of Parliament, particularly the students from South Mugirango Constituency. Hon. Speaker, I must confess that I was very happy when I heard you mention that my...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. One thing should be very clear as I second this particular Bill. The growing hardly tell that they will get old at some point. While in your 30s, you have to know that there is a time you...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I agree. The people who were 40 used to look very old to me when I was 20. I did not know that 40 was just next door. Now that I am also there, I find the 60-year...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will be guided by him because he really must have travelled, but I was saying that progressive jurisdictions have provisions to take care of the elderly and the sick. We must develop this culture here. Looking at the mortality rate of...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support the Statement by Hon. Kimaiyo regarding the issues of bursary. It is what I would call unclear division of roles between different sectors of the Government. 17th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10 Hon. Silvanus Osoro...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, this House resolves to exempt the Business appearing as Orders 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 in today’s Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) It is necessary, Hon. Speaker. We commit to have him appear next Wednesday or the other Wednesday before we break. Next Wednesday is okay.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Report by the Committee. As the Chairman has put it, the Committee sat down and appreciated that the nominee is qualified to serve in the capacity of principal secretary upon the review of...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I associate myself with the sentiments that have been made by my colleagues. I have had an opportunity to discuss with one of the top education stakeholders as far as the drama festival is concerned. He informed me...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, this House resolves to exempt the Business appearing as Order Nos. 9, 11 and 12 in today's Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40 (3) , being a Wednesday Morning,...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the committees have a set standard of two weeks to respond. I will submit this request to the relevant Committee. I commit to doing it, and the answer will be given in two weeks.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this very important Bill that seeks to remove the 25 per cent Excise Duty on imported transformer spare parts. That should be very clear. This confirms that the Bill rejected last year...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Somebody who was asking for the transformer carried me away. (Laughter) The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Are you prepared for this? You may proceed on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango,...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table: Reports of the Auditor-General and Financial Statements for the year ended 30th June, 2024, and the certificates therein in respect of:

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, I asked for a minute to appreciate the delegation from Zambia for the hospitality they accorded us when we visited them with you, as the House Business Committee sometime last year but one. I am reminded by...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Yes, I have.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I have moved, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I moved it.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Well guided, Hon. Speaker. As per the Standing Orders, there are Committees whose terms ended at the close of the last Session, and this has caused a lot of disruption as they have not been sitting during this period. I must say that the...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, let me check the page. As I said earlier, this exercise has not been easy. The Committee on Regional Integration is on page 165 of the Order Paper. If you try to move one person from one committee to the other, you...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. When I moved this Motion, I indicated that coming up with a list of Members appointed to various Committees is not easy. The movement of one Member to one Committee affects another Member.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) That is where I am heading to, Hon. Speaker. I am making my case that the movement of one Member to one committee must affect other Members because there are issues of regional, gender and party balance. I am not aware but I will...
