Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Generally, what I am saying is that any public officer or public servant, right from the presidency at the top moving downwards to all civil servants who have been given the privilege to serve this country, should be careful with...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. What has happened in the recent past, started like a joke from what many considered as mere statements by very top leaders of this country. It started from statements like, you know, the Government is like a shareholding...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much. As I said yesterday, we have a limited time in this Session. We only have Sittings this month. We will again go for a short recess early next month. That means we have to sacrifice everything, including condensing what we...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think Hon. Kawanjiku is confused this morning. Maybe, he ate some muguka in the morning. (Laughter)

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Hon. Ruku GK spoke off the record) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I hear some noise but let me proceed. I think it is part of the muguka working. (Laughter)(Loud consultations) 5th June 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 114

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much. I think it is important for us not to engage ourselves in populist politics when we are discussing very serious matters. We all live in this country. The NG-CDF has been in existence for over 20 years, and devolution came...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) As I wind up to whom much is given much is expected. A lot has been given to county governments but we can hardly see anything on the ground. You will need a microscope to identify what the governor does but everything that NG-CDF...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also join my colleagues in condoling the families of the departed soldiers and in particular, General Ogolla’s family.

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) No, it is the truth, Hon. Speaker. Even as we complain, we need to appreciate the fact that the National Treasury has tried. At least, we were able to pay to enable the Form Ones to go to school. We were able to sort...

Hon. Silvanus Osoro (South Mugirango, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. On this issue of NG-CDF disbursement, there is usually no Minority or Majority Party.
