Orero Peter Ochieng

Yes, Mwalimu Orero. I rise to make a response on the request for a Statement on the criteria for recognition and equation of certificates and diplomas obtained from schools offering international curricula in Kenya. This was asked by Hon. Rashid Bedzimba, Member for Kisauni Constituency. The question has three limbs,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The only thing I understood from my colleague, because he spoke in Kiswahili, is “ameridhika”. That means he is satisfied with the response. I congratulate him because, unlike the other former colleague who did not attend, he attended the meeting and asked his question.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I like the way my colleague always thinks about succession. It is because she knows we come from the same area and that I am a potential candidate for that succession. However, I thank her very much for allowing me to know that she thinks about me...

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I want to agree with my colleague, Hon. Milemba. The fire occurred in my constituency, as he has said. I totally agree with the sentiments of my colleague. The affected families and those who live in the informal settlements experience fires almost every two weeks. This...

Hon. Speaker, on a point of order. Member for Kibra, what is your point of order? Clerks-at-the-Table, hold Hon. Bashir’s time. Hon. Orero. Hon. Speaker, so far, only 20 Members have spoken. I suggest we reduce the time from five minutes to two minutes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion brought by our colleague, Hon. Kawajiku. It has reached a time that people should respect the functions of this Parliament. We have a number of issues that pass or are commissioned without the involvement of...

Point of Order, please. Point of Order.

Thank you. I think today the House has found it necessary that this is a very important Motion. The country should know that certain companies have a monopoly and have been allowed to evade taxes or are given tax exemptions. I wish it were during the former President Mwai Kibaki...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to this Bill. All the Bills that are introduced in this House should always pass through the Budget and Appropriations Committee to have them designated either as money Bills or not. What I find most important is the assumption...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of my colleague, Ms. Elachi, who was also a Speaker in another House, I want to welcome Precious Blood Riruta Girls. And for the benefit of this House, this is one of the top schools in this country. It has been a leading...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I think he is not ready. Allow me to contribute.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance also to contribute on the amendments to the IEBC (Amendment) Bill. As a country, we have come from far since Independence. We must retrace our steps. Long time ago, we did not have commissioners. We were a single-party state but...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second (Question proposed)

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very emotive Motion. In the history of Kenya we have not seen such an act. This Government is led by rogue officers, a people who do not have morals. According to the culture of where I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am surprised today that the Cabinet Secretary for Health said that there was no toxic substance found in the samples after an analysis in a lab yet people died. Even in her explanation, she is not giving direct information on what the Government is...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This matter of land… (Hon. David Gikaria spoke off record) Hon. Gikaria, you are not logged in to speak. This matter of land is a Nairobi affair. All the Nairobi Members of Parliament, we are the most affected as Nairobi citizens. It is very emotive....
