Silvanus Osoro Onyiego

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much. I think it is important for us not to engage ourselves in populist politics when we are discussing very serious matters. We all live in this country. The NG-CDF has been in existence for over 20 years, and devolution came...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of debate and procedure. This is a granary of wisdom where every profession is represented.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had given notice for recommittal. I beg to move that the House agrees with the Committee in the said report, subject to recommittal of clauses 14. I ask Hon. Chepkong’a to second.

The Bill is introduced in keeping with the practice of making various amendments...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. I am sorry, I must have been away when Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah moved debate on this Bill. But be that as it may, I simply want to single out a few integral things in this Miscellaneous Bill. There is...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. On this issue of NG-CDF disbursement, there is usually no Minority or Majority Party. It is something that we all agree on collectively. (Applause) 14th February 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 5 Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA)of delay...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Let us be practical. (Loud consultations) Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) A time like this last year, the highest constituency had received Ksh14 million. This year, the lowest is Ksh30 million. Those are facts; we have the records. If we go by that...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) No, it is the truth, Hon. Speaker. Even as we complain, we need to appreciate the fact that the National Treasury has tried. At least, we were able to pay to enable the Form Ones to go to school. We were able to sort...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. If you go through the Petition by Hon. Bady, it leaves a lot of questions than answers. It is important for the Chairman and the relevant committee to take up this matter. 7th December 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to contribute to this very important discussion on the President’s Speech. I listened keenly to him from when he started his address to the end. I took notes which I have here. I noticed Hon. Irene...

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

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is it really in order for Hon. Irene Mayaka to mention people who are not in this House and cannot defend themselves, and lie to the public without substantiating the fact that JKIA is leaking? Which part is leaking? The JKIA...

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

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I think Hon. Fatuma is misleading the country. It is, indeed, true that the individual can only access up to KSh50,000, but it is also true that there are groups. That individual is not blocked from accessing funds as a group....

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