Oundo Wilberforce Ojiambo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand with the women of this country, of the world and of God. Any life lost is one too many. There is no justifiable reason or cause for anybody to attempt to kill anybody else, be it a...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I echo the sentiments of my colleague, Hon. Mwalimu Milemba. Hon. Speaker, Parliament is a House of debate. It has been given the task of budget- making. In the last Session, some Members had the tendency of rising under certain...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Just for record purposes, I hope this money will be equitably and fairly distributed throughout the country. That is my point of concern. It is possible that this money will be concentrated in one region. The Sidokho Dam, which you and I share, will...

When we passed the contentious Finance Bill this year, we had the impression that the money...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want a reassurance from either the Chairman of the Committee or the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee that the reduction of prison services by close to Ksh300 million will not affect the welfare of the prisoners and other persons...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, the Vote being reduced is captured as capital expenditure. This means that probably there was a project that was already underway. Can we have an assurance that the reduction from Ksh203 million to Ksh56 million will not lead to pending bills?...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) No; I want to know what it entails. A whopping increase of Ksh8 billion is not pocket change. I know it can be pocket change to some of these guys. Where we come from, this is a colossal sum of money. What does this...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. This question is for the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. It looks like we are giving with the right hand and taking with the left hand. Looking at the capital expenditure, there is a reduction...
