Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2022/2023. I must laud the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for taking us through a basic or elementary lecture on economics...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is true it has schedules. However, the schedules it has have got the vote programme and revised Budget Estimates for Financial Year 2022/2023, but they do not provide the comparative analysis after Supplementary Budget I. I am lucky I went...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, if you look at the Supplementary Order Paper, I had an amendment that was not encumbered by Article 114 of the Constitution. However, it has already been overtaken by events. I also want to totally agree with the Chair of the Committee...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, as much as this sounds correct and nice, we are now pre-empting debate hoping that Clause 76 will be carried. I do not know how to proceed because this predicates Clause 76. What happens if Clause 76 fails? We need guidance so...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, I need your guidance. I had an amendment which was not subject to Article 114 of the Constitution—Clause 20 on page 617 of the Supplementary Order Paper. I need your guidance on how to proceed, since you have not called out the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Obviously, I am not satisfied with the explanation, Hon. Chairlady. I want to take the Chair to the specific provision in the original Bill. Clause 20 (b) (3AA) says that a person who receives rental income on behalf of the owner of the premises...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Chairlady, I think there is a bit more confusion that could arise from the way the Supplementary Order Paper is presented, or for those of us who have no adequate background in accounting. If you go to page 592 on (r) in case...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I need to check… Hon. Speaker Hon. Oundo, unfortunately, you have already spoken on this. Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) That is what I was thinking, because my memory does not serve me wrong.

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to join my colleagues in the debate in support of the Motion that has been submitted by the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee in respect of 26 constituencies in various counties in this...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on the Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.42 of 2022) . The cardinal role of a legislator is to pass laws. From a practice point of view, we should allow...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) With due respect, I will allow her to inform me on law matters and the rest of the issues. If it is not, then I will respectfully decline to be informed. She was my Chairperson and she is the Deputy Speaker. Allow her to...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you for the information. I am just being polite and sympathetic to the promoter of the Bill. Obviously, being a young man, where I come from in our community, we do not put down a young man with harsh words. You allow him...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, therefore, we must revert. That is why we are saying that these conventions are not domesticated because 26th April 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 37 Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)once those guys run away, they will engage you in a ping...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also congratulate the Member for Kipipiri for bringing this Statement that highlights the dire situation that our citizens find themselves in, in the Republic of Sudan. Conflicts can erupt anywhere. They are always with us all the time....

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am seated behind Bishop Khamala and I want to make a special plea that you allow him educate us and preach to us the importance of the doctrine of fasting, religion and the path to heaven. As a...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Hon. Wilberforce Oundo, are you also on a point of order? What is out of order? Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wanted to rise...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, probably I am not a good reader of the mood of the House, but looking at the faces, all Members being called to contribute do not seem to want to do so. Allow me to make a few comments so that...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Luckily enough, mine is working. I want to ask my colleague the Chairman as he asks for supplementary information, to please add this question. Sexual harassment is not only confined to tea farms in the agricultural sector, but cuts across...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have argued that this is a House of debate. We should be allowed to debate matters of national interest without being gagged probably by people who can make more noise than the rest.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I stand to support the Division of Revenue Bill. In view of the shortened time, allow me to make two important remarks. Number one, the people who fought for devolution did not intend devolution to be a centre of expenditure. They thought devolution was...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, can you compel the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to listen so that he can answer? Or, should I proceed because this is on Hansard and he will miraculously hear what I am about to ask. The Temporary Chairlady...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Legislation transcends national boundaries. It must bring some form of cooperation and pursue the endless form goal of globalisation such that there must be some uniform sets of rules, regulations and laws that wherever you go, if it is...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Yes, so that we are on the same page.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I can now speak on a matter that the Speaker appreciates the importance. There is an attached analysis that the Cotonou Agreement has ended. There is now a discussion of a new agreement. When you look at the analysis,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is a controversial, comprehensive sexual education for young children and special LGBTQIA+ rights. This generation is going through too many problems and we are only looking upon the young people to salvage this generation. When you go to...
