Silvanus Osoro

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 into place in 2013, but you...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of debate and procedure. This is a granary of wisdom where every profession is represented. We have experienced advocates of the high court, doctors, accountants, bishops, and aspiring men of the cloth. I think Hon. Junet qualifies to be a sheikh. This...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in condoling the families of the departed soldiers and in particular, General Ogolla’s family. I want to point out two things I learnt from this occasion that befell our country. First, the best way we can mourn the death...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. Osoro, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I intend to take Clause 14 (d) for recommittal at the right time. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : It is noted....

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.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 68 of 2023) , be now read a second time. The Bill is introduced in keeping with the practice of making various amendments which... (A Member spoke off the...

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 a proposal to amend the Traffic...

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 of delay by the National Treasury to release the Exchequer to the NG-CDF...

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 some challenges that we had and...

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 DEBATES 4 be declared a national...

I second, Hon. Speaker.

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 Mayaka was somehow confused when he...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Osoro? 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...

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

On a point of order. What is your point of order, Whip of the Majority Party? 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...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also support this Bill by the Leader of the Majority Party. It is important that, even as we support it, we reflect on our various encounters with different sales agents from insurance companies. You will notice that the history we have with...
