Oundo Wilberforce Ojiambo

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I welcome you back from the short recess. I had already made my contribution on this Bill. I leave the opportunity to somebody else.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to commend the Decentralized Funds Accounts Committee for the wonderful job they have been doing and to also sympathise with them as well.

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 3. The reason is that the original Bill says that the provision of subsection 1 shall not apply to any rules, regulations and orders emanating from a...

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

Martha Wangari) : We are already prosecuting your amendment, which is a deletion. Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Indeed, I agree with Hon. Chepkong’a. That is why I said I am just holding my breath and keeping my fingers closed since they know how to vote in unison. Can the Almighty God descend in their hearts and vote in unison to maintain...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, that is a progressive amendment, and that is how we should always avoid wastage of resources, duplication and cumbersome processes. We must also pass a warning to regulatory authorities that some regulations could actually be outdated by now. Some that were...
