Silvanus Osoro Onyiego

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. I congratulate the Senate and the National Assembly team for coming up with an amicable solution. In my engagements with hon. Members from both...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is a growing trend in this House. If not tamed, it will mess the integrity of this House. Nobody should be seen walking or moving around when the Temporary Speaker is on her feet. Hon. Wamboka is out of order....

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hoja ya nidhamu.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Mhe. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kufahamisha Mhe. Rachael kwamba hatusemi “Kiingereza mingi,” tunasema “Kiingereza kingi.” Hatusemi kwamba Kiswahili kimemshinda, bali lugha ya Kiswahili imemlemea. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu kuzingatia matamshi sahihi katika ngeli unapozungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ni lazima uelewe kwamba kuna ngeli...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Mhe. Spika wa Muda.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hoja ya kufahamisha.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA)

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support Hon. Faith Gitau’s Motion on the Expansion of Major Roads to dual carriageways. The roads issue is a thorn in the flesh of many Kenyans. Those of us who have had the privilege...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also join the rest… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Kaluma, can you say what is out of order?

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I also feel that the IPOA is expected to do so much by the public, even by the police themselves but, with meagre resources, that cannot help them mitigate the challenges that they have. I also must appreciate the fact that...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I must appreciate that this has been a progressive appreciation of the Judiciary budget over the years. Looking at a similar vote last year, I must confirm that we have increased the budget to a substantial percentage, but one thing that...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What Hon. Jared Okello has raised, in as far as the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) is concerned, is indeed true. He has also correctly outlined the facts that culminated to us passing what the governors wanted...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Let me conclude.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) It is the same governors who are sponsoring cases against this House. The National Council Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) case was sponsored by the Council of Governors. Even the RMLF case, they are the ones sponsoring it. There is no problem if they fail...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Anytime I listen to the former Deputy President speak, I cannot help but to wish that there was another way to have him brought back to this House to be impeached again for the second time or even...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) I also want to inform the House and the Prime Cabinet Secretary that South Mugirango borders Migori County and Narok County. I heard my neighbour, Hon. Rebecca, speak about hardship areas in her area. She actually spoke on my behalf because we border and...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table:

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Much obliged, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You are all aware that we are proceeding on recess for a month. I can only commit two weeks after the recess.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Social Protection Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 12 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I also ask the Hon. Member of Kwanza to second.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding mining machinery belonging to Rio Kavirondo Limited, seized at Rongo Police...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleague, Hon. Makilap, in welcoming all the students to the chamber of Parliament, particularly the students from South Mugirango Constituency. Hon. Speaker, I must confess that I was very happy when I heard you mention that my...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is not my wish to interrupt my learned senior, Hon. Millie. This is unrelated to her submission. I see that Hon. Gisairo is not properly dressed for the Chamber. He is actually in sneakers or sports shoes.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) On a point of order.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party was a drama teacher in school. He speaks with a lot of expressions when making a point and that is very good. What we are seeking in this Procedural Motion...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I agree. The people who were 40 used to look very old to me when I was 20. I did not know that 40 was just next door. Now that I am also there, I find the 60-year...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. One thing should be very clear as I second this particular Bill. The growing hardly tell that they will get old at some point. While in your 30s, you have to know that there is a time you...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I will be guided by him because he really must have travelled, but I was saying that progressive jurisdictions have provisions to take care of the elderly and the sick. We must develop this culture here. Looking at the mortality rate of...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support the Statement by Hon. Kimaiyo regarding the issues of bursary. It is what I would call unclear division of roles between different sectors of the Government. 17th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10 Hon. Silvanus Osoro...
