OLUOCH, ANTHONY TOM

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am a Member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I stand to support. I want to raise three salient issues and underlying matters that this House should take into consideration. First, Standing Order 210, the Constitution and...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to thank Hon. Lesuuda for coming up with this progressive Bill. This Member has dared to dream, design and picture what this country would look like if it puts in place what should be a basic right for...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I wish to draw your attention to a stranger who is sitting in the House. (Loud consultations) 1st July 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 8

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Speaker, you have severally issued rulings about the dress code in this House. Those rules form part of the tradition of this House. Looking at the Speaker’s Panel, including yourself, you are all dressed in collars. Is it in order for the Member for...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I need to get an assurance from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security as I support the programmes in this Vote. That is as to whether the programme-based Budget - including the additional monies being asked for - includes the recently...

Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. The proposed amendment may be well meaning but, unfortunately, this is a matter within the remit of the Chair to give direction on. Since it is a matter concerning a provision of the Constitution, which is a condition precedent, we cannot vote on it....

Even as we pass this Vote, it is important to remember that the Last Mile Connectivity is just not only about constituencies in rural areas. There are constituencies with informal settlements in urban areas, including mine. Other such settlements are Mukuru and other places. They have not had electricity for...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the status of the Kenya School Meals Policy. On 20th November 2024, this House received information from the Cabinet Secretary...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me also to support. I want to begin with the second part of the Committee’s Motion. The Chairman asked for the approval of a sum of Ksh2,538,293,978,440 from the Consolidated Fund. My first point is mostly about the second...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to conclude this point by addressing the question of capitation. About Ksh90 billion has been allocated to capitation. Just like NG-CDF, the issue is usually half the question of allocation and half of that to the Exchequer. This...

Hon. Antony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM)

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) On a point of order.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I apologise because you were about to wind up. I deliberately waited for you to finish. Is it in order, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the Member to attempt to limit the rights and put a hierarchy that would prioritise the water needs of his constituents...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to ride on the statement and comment as well. Mathare Constituency like Kibra has been affected within a span of two weeks. Also, on behalf of my colleague, the Member for Kamukunji, the House should remember there have been frequent fires in Gikomba....

Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I was saying, there is an element of criminality. These fire tragedies are not mere coincidental fires. There is a cabal of people who feel that they can forcefully circumvent and appropriate public land where ordinary traders carry out business. This is by frustrating them with...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives. The State Department of Trade is one of those specialised state departments that require whoever is chosen into those areas demonstrates a good grasp of the subject...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This morning, the 17 Members of Parliament from Nairobi City County met with their regional engineers. The subject of discussion was the same question being discussed on the Floor of this House today. First, I confirm that the tendering process for...

Hon. Anthony Aluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me lend my support to this proposal to entrench NG-CDF into the Constitution, taking into account that the recent court's pronouncement is such that by June of 2027, the current NG-CDF will cease to act. Apparently, the...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much. I want to lend my hand in support of this Bill. At the outset, I want to thank. Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a as well as Sen. Crystal Asige, who I think has been able to show very clearly and exemplify the maxim...
