Anthony Tom Oluoch

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) For the record, I support. I have many community health workers in my Mathare Constituency. My issue on drafting is a technical legal issue. It is fine if you are comfortable with the drafting. I am reading from this that you are proposing that certain...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I support this amendment. However, I have a drafting issue which I would like to bring to the attention of the Chair. The 24 months is appropriate, but I am thinking in terms of legal drafting. I have a concern...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for the directions you have given. I would like to agree with you that despite the withdrawal, a statement needs to be filed before this House. The reason that I think it is still important is because that letter...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Cabinet Secretary, allow me to also thank you for the very seamless transition. It is like you were fit for the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry as opposed to the previous one. I come from a...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Well guided. 7th August 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 10 THE DIVISION OF REVENUE (AMENDMENT) BILL

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to thank Hon. Lesuuda for bringing this Bill. Internship is very important. As a beneficiary of an internship programme in various areas of specialization within the legal profession, I honed my skills. I became who I am today...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to make my comments on the Supplementary Estimates that have been tabled. Firstly, allow me to make some few comments on what I think are good points and gains in this Motion. I am happy to hear that...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the onset, I rise to oppose this Bill. The Finance Bill 2024/2025 has redefined public discourse on things that affect us, especially on the question of how, when, what, and where to tax the people of Kenya. I thank our...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I wish to support this provision. It is an affirmative action measure that is embedded in our Constitution. It is particularly extended to persons with disabilities to ensure that ease of doing 30th April 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 35 Hon....

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I rise to support this provision. The House will know that the standards need to be established under statutes, and therefore, to avoid any conflict and arbitral by the counties, the requirement for consultation is within the law. Therefore, I support. (Question, that the words...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. In our many rounds of public participation, most of the presenters were of the view – this amendment speaks to it – that the power to issue licensing should not be vested in a single individual. Therefore, it should be...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The original text of Clause 9 did not have a time limit within which information requested of an applicant was to be issued. That would have been a loophole to persons who are applying and it could perhaps deny them...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) No. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : No. Hon. Member for Funyula, do you want to contribute to this amendment?

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you. I finally have a microphone. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support this amendment because it is very progressive. Under Article 47 of the Constitution, every person has a right to administrative action. Clause 15, speaks to a decision and having this in writing will...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support this amendment. Many people who came before the Committee complained that there is lack of uniformity and discrimination in the manner in which licences lapse. If I apply for my license today, at the end of the financial year it...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, there is a reason why this provision was deemed necessary. Remember that the County Licensing (Uniform Procedures) Bill (Senate Bill No. 9 of 2022) is a uniform licensing Bill for counties by both the Senate and the National Assembly. To put it...
