Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, my good colleague is debating a very important Bill that touches on the lifestyle of so many people. I rise under Standing Order 35. Looking around the Chamber, we obviously do not have quorum to debate such an important Bill. I,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I must take this opportunity to laud the Senate for bringing the Bill to this House. We hope that the Senate will concur with the amendments we have made so that we can expeditiously complete this process. It has been a...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Through you, we probably need to request the Parliamentary Service Commission to repair microphones so that I do not have to keep on shifting and, nowadays, you have told us to go digital by using the gadgets. I hope...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I represent one of the constituencies that are badly affected by the the so-called…Sory! Let me call it “bad manners” of our Ugandan neighbours.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the fish in Lake Victoria mostly breeds at the entry point of River Sio and River Nile and then spreads throughout EAC. The fish has no passport at all. It is neither Kenyan, Tanzanian or Ugandan. I urge the Committee, through...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
