Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to thank you most sincerely because for the first time we have somebody coming out in defence of our women, specifically in conformity with the Constitution. I wish you were the President. We would not be having the matter of...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. That was a good commercial break. Through you, we have heard this Petition that has been brought by… The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Order, Hon. Okello! Withdraw the statement that you made that this is a commercial...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I hope I will get back my minutes.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Well, it is just like a scenario where a judge sitting before a court of law litigates on a matter and then takes a particular direction, just like we saw during the Supreme Court ruling the other day, when the judges called certain allegations raised...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not intend to cut short my very knowledgeable Chairperson. He has been introduced as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. I like his indepth knowledge about this subject matter, but it suffices to say that this...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. We are discussing twin issues here. The first issue relates to the safety of GMO food commodities, which has been a subject of discussion in the last few days in this country. The...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) The time keeper, kindly give me those two minutes. I was taken aback this afternoon after listening to the Members of National Assembly and the Senate from the Rift Valley castigating their own Government for importing a food consignment. So, if people from Rift Valley...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was just doing some mathematics off my head. If we are a full House of 349 Members, give and take two minutes each to cast their ballots, it will take us 11 hours to be in this House voting, just...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the same breath, allow me to congratulate my brother, Hon. Kiarie, for coming up with this Motion. It is informed by the joblessness that has percolated this nation. I will take a different tangent with regard to funding of...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Alright Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not know why the incessant disruptions. I think I am very logical in my presentation. Because you have said we should not talk about the number of soldiers we have sent and those who have since died in various...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I hope that I will recover my four minutes that have been taken away from me. It is true that under a fortnight ago, our soldiers were flagged off to go to DRC by the President of this country. Together with him...

Hon Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon Temporary Speaker, this flippant and disdainful characterisation of one, Nyando Member of Parliament is unacceptable. You gave a very clear indication that always where we touch on casualties, we should request to put everything in camera. That means that whatever I was saying was...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I also recognise that the DRC is the new kid on the block as far as the EAC is concerned and we wholeheartedly welcome them into the block. The violence that has been in the...

Hon. Jared Okelo (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. We are here today because of the NG-CDF and it stems from a history. There was a time when you only had to sing the tune of the Government of the day for projects to be extended...

Hon. Jared Okelo (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have seen what the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NG-AAF) can do together with the Hon. Members representing various counties in this House. When I move around Kisumu County, I see women doing businesses in market sheds provided by...
