Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I commend the Chairman of the Committee because when he was moving the Bill, he indicated the amendments he was going to move as a result of public participation. It is good that he has kept his word and...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Of course, it is a consequence of the amendment that some Members of our Committee adopted. Now, the only practicality of this amendment is that we are going to saddle and burden KEBS with much data that will eventually be of no use to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you for the guidance. I also thank the Leader of the Majority Party. I know it is provided for in some parts of the standing orders. To put the records right, we have managed to process several Bills up to the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) This is guidance, and I think the Whip of the Minority Party, Hon.
