Hon. (Dr) Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this Report on the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee on Consolidated Fund Service expenditure under the Financial Year 2023/2024 Budget Estimates. Let me echo the statements of the Vice-Chair, that probably,...

Hon. (Dr.) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you are aware, when Hon. Wanjala suffers, I suffer more because when they are displaced, they stay at my place waiting for the water to recede. Allow me to also ask the Cabinet Secretary that, while they are trying...

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

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Can the Cabinet Secretary give us exact timelines for when that programme will be actualised, and come to an end? What are the deliberations?

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) It is probably just a policy matter. I would like to pick up from where Hon. Beatrice Elachi left about Kileleshwa Primary School land. I am sure the Cabinet Secretary is aware that many public primary schools in this country have no titles or...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, unfortunately, from our training, when you make a pronouncement, there must be deliverables. One of the deliverables is timelines. When a lady conceives, it is expected that after nine months, and not more, she will deliver.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Constitution 2010 is explicitly clear. When the Chairman was moving the Motion he said that the obligation to implement the treaty falls to the country adopting it. Further, it says that after adoption of the treaty, it takes three years.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I stand to support, I do so with reservations. My reservations are based on the text of the Report and nothing else. This is a document that was originated, negotiated and signed in 1991. The year 1991 up to now...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, in essence, there is a contravention of the law because if you can only have one way and no other, what is the purpose of this document coming to this House where we cannot raise any reservations at all? I need...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Constitution clearly says that a treaty or any international law only comes into force upon ratification by the National Assembly in our country. Hon.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Standing Orders are expressly clear that you cannot impute wrong motive on a Member of Parliament. I did not mention any Member. So, there is nothing out of order. Allow me to proceed and complete my point. The Temporary Speaker (Hon....

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you Hon. Speaker. My party Chair has been very brief and I imagine he has donated to me the time. I will strictly stick to your requirements. It has always been said that debt is always cheaper than equity. We have always been...
