Oundo Wilberforce Ojiambo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I totally agree with the Leader of the Majority Party because yesterday, there was a bit of confusion and I was part of the confusion because I think I had read the Bill in advance before it had been passed. I...

I sincerely thank the Committee for...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendments moved by the Chairman because, in any case, it is a running commission and therefore, if you submit the report after six months, it would have been overtaken by events. I need to catch your attention. I...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) A very small one, Hon. Speaker. (Laughter) Government is in perpetuity.
