Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 11th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 49

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Whereas I acknowledge the advancement by the Hon. (Dr) Oundo as regards to Standing Order 35, your discretion equally may allow the Member who was on his feet under Standing Order No.1 to proceed. That is because he...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe that our Standing Orders could be similar. By invoking Standing Order 35, for obvious reasons, allow that question to be put at a later date. This is based on the importance of this particular issue. Thank you, Hon....

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Petition on the mistreatment of teachers by the TSC needs to be looked into quickly and addressed urgently. The TSC is known for its notoriety. It has perpetuated certain ills to teachers. Hon. Mbai, my friend and...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. In the same breath, I want to thank my brother, Hon. Muriu, a first-timer already looking ahead of the pack. We are debating this because we are concerned about the future generation, which...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I hope to get my time back.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. That was a good banter. A fifth class will be added if we consider the junior secondary section. This means we have to up the NG-CDF allocation so as to incorporate junior secondary. Otherwise, if we are to move by...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Madam Cabinet Secretary has endeavoured to explain measures being undertaken to incorporate interpreters within our doctors. However, that feeds into one thing. Since time immemorial, I have people with hearing impairment. You ask yourself what happens if...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you. 4th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 50

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Check Standing Order 40. The lamentations have come from none other than President William Samoei Ruto.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is becoming a tired line that lots of lamentations come from this House and the Executive regarding the conduct of Cabinet Secretaries. My brother, Hon. Ichung’wah, has properly captured this matter.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Let me come to my point, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, this lamentation has come from none other than the topmost office; their own employer, Hon. William Ruto. He said that he knows more.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Yes

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have two issues that need your attention, direction and assistance. The first one relates to international travels by Members of this House together with our secretariat. In his wisdom, our Clerk, my good friend, Mr. Samuel Njoroge, took the...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. That is not the direction I was taking but I was also …

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Taking the cue from my friend, Hon. Kiarie, it is an absurdity that we have an airline that we ought to be proud of as a nation, which is incurring losses year in, year out. Something needs to...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, let me remind the House that I raised this matter one day before we went on recess. That has informed this robust discussion. I like it. When the Executive employs…

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) That is what I was coming to. At certain times, the Executive employs what we call the “Executive fiat” where they overreach their mandate. The letter from KeRRA is a true testament to the Executive trying to overreach its mandate. Whereas a letter has been...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me just finish raising this important matter. We acknowledge that a letter has been written…

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Before the Chairperson talked about a letter that has been withdrawn, he told us that another letter has been written to collect peoples’ views on the same subject. They are trying to manage us. Within a very short period of time…
