(Committee of the whole House deferred) CONSIDERATION OF REPORT ON EXAMINATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE WATER SECTOR TRUST FUND. Committee on its consideration of the audited accounts for the Water Sector Trust The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Omboko Milemba)...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The KNCHR is very important for this country, given that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, which was promulgated by the late President Mwai Kibaki, was largely founded on two bases – the governance system and human rights. Human rights took...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Jane Kagiri, the Mover of the Motion on the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) . I want to notify the country that this is an Agreement that we needed to secure...

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Omboko Milemba) Thank you very much, Hon. Elachi. There being no more interest in this Bill, I will defer putting of the Question to the next sitting. (Putting of the Question deferred) Next Order. ADOPTION OF FIFTH REPORT ON AUDITED ACCOUNTS FOR SELECTED STATE CORPORATIONS Committee...

Omboko Milemba)Published by Clerk of...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I did not interact with Hon. Dalmas as a Member of Parliament but on the streets during the days when teachers would go on strike every December. When he was in the public service, he gave teachers study leave with pay,...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) The independence of this House can only be protected by this House. The students in the Galleries are taught that this House is independent and no other unit or no other body can make a law. That is what we teach. I am a teacher....

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think this is a very great opportunity for the President and Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga to call out Parliament. And this is a great opportunity for the 13th Parliament to actually deal with the elephant of corruption. You do not...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence on the President’s Memorandum. Members may not be aware of the Bill that you took to the President for assent which was sponsored by Hon. Barasa. It was supposed to give a timeline for payment of pensions to the...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) We need to moderate it because we can get a 50-50 out of the entire Bill, so that nobody loses. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will appear before the Committee.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. On the same matter of hardship allowance, Hon. Jared may have overlooked one important issue. When the Prime Cabinet Secretary was here, the Speaker made a ruling. Hon. Speaker, I would like to draw your attention to the...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Last year’s Finance Bill, having received the kind of reception it got, was courtesy of partly what the workers indicated as a drain in their pay slips in terms of several tax deductions. But I am happy for them since...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There are gaps; therefore, I am not satisfied. One, the respondent took a long time speaking about the mandate of TSC but you have directed accordingly. As it is now, the truth of the matter is that the so- called monies...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you. Regarding the so-called money that was supposed to be paid to the hospitals, TSC says that it is the responsibility of the consortium led by Minet Insurance Brokers Kenya Limited to pay. However, earlier on in their statement read here, it indicated that...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) I have sought two clarifications. Why are they passing the buck to the consortium? Yet, it is TSC that should deal with the monies. As it stands today, hospitals have stopped providing services to teachers. Above all, teachers have lost their medical cover. It is...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) One minute, Hon. Speaker. So, can we get clarification on why the money cannot be paid on time yet the teachers surrendered their medical allowance?

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) It used to be recovered from their salaries. Then, they surrendered it to a pool which provides medical cover. Thank you.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Yes, it is in Petals of Blood. You are a master. Thank you. In Petals of Blood, he tried to bring out that theme very confidently. We should have more tolerance in our times for literally works and with those behind such works. So, when...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to eulogise Ngugi wa Thiong'o; a great writer who influenced many of the readers of the time and the children. Young people would compete on how many books by Ngugi and other African writers they would...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the tragic fire tragedy in Makina area, Kibera in Nairobi City County. On...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for protecting me. I am really surprised that the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party is prejudicing with casualty and casualness the death of five family members: father, mother and three children. Another family lost two people and only one...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Oundo has mentioned to Kenyans that even when the devil is talking to you, you need to allow your family, children and other people to listen to him. I ask him to withdraw that because the devil is never good for your family, siblings...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have listened to a very eloquent and seasoned speaker in this House, Hon. Oundo. (Hon. Onesmus Ngogoyo spoke off the record) Please relax. I am a very senior person and more experienced than you in this House. Please chill!

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Speaker, I will only contribute for one minute. It is very good to have great lawyers in Parliament like Hon. Millie. Her proposal can mitigate some of the things I spoke about which are policy related. For example, many of our teachers will be...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. First, it would look like teachers have more hardship areas, but it is because of their way of zoning. The TSC went for an education zone system. An education zone is far much smaller than what you can...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) That is the history, but let me come to the second one, which is about gazettement. I pick up from what the Member of Parliament for Taita Taveta has said. The zoning of these hardship areas and the proposal to degazette them... Remember the one...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to join the rest of the Members in standing with all Christians around the world, especially the Catholic faithful. I say pole for the loss of the late Pope Francis. The Catholic Church is great. It has...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you. You are an authority Speaker. He was called Voltaire. He was allowed to perform before Louis XVI. I think what we should do in that space is to allow such plays to be performed, they get over with, and we move on. I...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for this chance. I just want to support the Statement and indicate that drama is just about satire that has been there throughout. I remember ‘Volta’ was one of the most remembered satirical philosophers during the French Revolution but...
