Paul Otiende Amollo

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The response, as read, is grossly inadequate. It is because of our system that we cannot expect our colleague to give us sufficient answers. He can only rely on answers that have been given to him. The issue of Ojwang’...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Special Motion and I thank my Chairman, my Vice-Chairman and the other Members for sacrificing not just their Saturday, but their Madaraka Day. For us, we had no Madaraka holiday on this day because we...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) He is a professor of Geospatial Science and Engineering. Part of his speciality, his first PhD, was on the study of the earth. He told us that he can tell where any of you are at any one point if he gets your phone...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to eulogise the late Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o. He demonstrated defiance, first in terms of name.

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me, first, thank you for the wisdom of directing an enquiry through members of the relevant Committee. It is important to note that the concern to find out what happened is not born out of anything in our Standing...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Indeed, I had canvassed that within the first point, by asking whether in light of the nature of the orders given, the process may continue or be suspended. I believe that is the most fundamental issue.

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rareida, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think if any Kenyan doubted why we impeached the former Deputy President, now they are clear that it was legitimate and proper for the more he speaks, the more he acts and the more he invites action for...

Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo (Rarieda, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support the request by the Leader of the Minority Party. Even as we communicate, I am sure you will indicate that, this House's Caucus on legislation, litigation, and related matters was seized of this matter upon your...
