Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) My apologies, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was on a call with one of my constituents with ventricular heart problem. He was just updating me on his progress. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Member for Suba South, you know we have many rooms for...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What we are witnessing here is the long list of examples of poor planning in this Administration. A Government that is very good in promises and short on delivery that exhibits unprecedented confusion, impulsive expenditure, and limited...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, our Constitution places all security agencies under civilian oversight of this House. Section 23 of our Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act clearly states that all documents, whether from the NIS or the military, are to be brought to this House for...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for those wise words. Unfortunately, he has set a bad precedent himself in this House. He spends a lot of time addressing imaginary enemies and wasting our time. I was looking at the...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, is the Leader of the Majority Party in order to make such reckless statements? He has said that he ensured the money for the construction of the road was allocated in the Budget. He has also said that he would ensure...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the interruptions continue but I am still soldiering on. Let me strongly oppose this Supplementary Budget for the reasons I have stated.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is an attached Schedule to the Bill. The Ksh200 million allocated to the Office of the Deputy President…

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, he is my friend, but he is not learned. The solution being offered is as bad as the problem itself. Wise men have told us before that life under a good government is rarely dramatic, but life under a bad government...

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am ready to table the documents. (Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah spoke off the record) The office rent has been set at 3,000. Staff emoluments…Order. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Order.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Let me finish. I only hope that this particular expenditure is not covered in this Budget. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : What is out of order? Let me hear from Hon. Ichung’wah.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, under our Constitution, this is the office charged with keeping our books and records.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am raising this issue so that this House gives the country an assurance that such illegality is not committed.

Hon. Caroli Omondi (Suba South, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What we are discussing is a failure of both this Government and the previous ones.
