Anthony Tom Oluoch

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me begin from a point Hon. Ichung’wah mentioned when he was moving. I agree with him entirely. I think he said one is a candidate of condemnation to death if one has the misfortune of being committed to any...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to request for a Statement regarding the projected funding ceilings for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Financial Years. (Applause) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I think the Leader of Majority Party has the duty to be factual in terms of our Standing Orders. It is not factual for him to stand here and tell Kenyans about the devolved functions of housing. (Loud consultations) I am rising on...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to begin by saying that the Finance Bill is for total rejection. My preliminary point is to invite you, Hon. Speaker, to issue directions and a ruling on the Bill in light of the supporting reports. We were...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I have not finished. My point of order is very well founded. Anybody who contributes here is required to be factual. Even though the Government taxes everything, the duty to implement is a fact. It is not on Government. In this Bill, it has not...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I have looked at the figures allocated to this, and my comments are that the figures are way below, considering that we still have many constituencies that are yet to have TVETs, including Homa Bay Town. Hon. Kaluma here confirms...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support the Vote, but the allocation is too little. The allocation to the basic education sector should, at least, be Ksh250 billion. I have two short reasons that I want to advance in this regard. It has been close...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman and Hon. Ichung’wah, the allocation of Ksh29 billion is well-grounded but with a rider. I suggest that Ksh20 billion should be ring-fenced to cushion taxpayers who would have paid 3 per cent, 1.5 per cent or whatever that percentage is instead of...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want to support this. This is an important intervention for constituencies such as mine where we have many talented young people who earn a living from sports. There is an under supply in this particular allocation which perhaps the Committee could...
