Paul Otiende Amollo

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Is it in order for the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party to condemn Parliament for having failed in its role when he knows that making regulations is not Parliament’s role? Every piece of legislation indicates who makes the regulations. Those who make regulations...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Oluoch. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to inform Hon. Oluoch on two issues. One is in respect of what he sought my concurrence on. Indeed, I agree with him, and Hon. Owen Baya is wrong. 27th September 2023 NATIONAL...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Petition by Hon. Bady. Land issues are emotive and very important. If there is an allegation that there is selective compensation, it is worthy of inquiry, particularly because we know that some of the...

Hon. (Dr.) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I need your guidance on a procedural matter. Unless it escaped my attention at one point, I am looking at Standing Order 244C in terms of the order in which things are to be done. It suggests to me that the budget...

Hon. (Dr.) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I oppose this Bill in its entirety.

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That objection is symptomatic to the problem this side is having. They do not listen to the radio stations, they do not read the print media and neither do they watch television stations. If they did, they would not ask...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) You must listen to us, because even if you use the majority to pass this Bill, there are courts. Even if you deal with the courts, there are the people who are sovereign. My two closing remarks are: One, you cannot have a situation...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will proceed. The point I am making is that excessive and generalised over taxation of Kenyans will only further burden Kenyans who are already suffering. The cost of living is very high. Therefore, it is a lie to say...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I support the Motion based on the law. I have carefully looked at Sections 6 and 7 of the Act, and Articles 238 and 239 of the Constitution. A holder of this office is required to be qualified in terms of learning,...
