Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would ask you to determine whether there is quorum for this House to continue before you proceed any further. The parliamentary administration

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting this request for statement. As this Committee looks at this issue, I hope it will broaden it to cover recruitment in the armed forces. They should not just look at the NYS. The manner in...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I just want to buttress one point, because I was a member of the Mediation Committee. I fully concur with the reasoning and the points advanced by our Co-Chair of the Committee, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. The only thing I...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I just want to buttress one point, because I was a member of the Mediation Committee. I fully concur with the reasoning and the points advanced by our Co-Chair of the Committee, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. The only thing I...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 6 of the Bill be deleted. The reason is that this clause is discriminatory to the effect that it seeks to exclude Cabinet Secretaries and create a notion that the Levy is to be...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, if you may guide me, do I move my proposed amendment? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : No! We will prosecute Hon. Nyikal’s proposed amendment first. We shall come to you. Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I support the amendment to the extent that it gives clarity to members of the public, who may fall victim to revoked statutory instruments. The amendment will protect public interests similar to the amendment to Section 18. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : Hon....

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) The Deputy Speaker, who is my Chair in the Procedure and House Rules Committee, has a similar amendment. If she wishes not to move hers, I will move mine with your guidance. Allow me to move. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : No, Hon....

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Yes, I have inserted it, but it is not working. Let me use the adjacent microphone. I have not looked at the amendment by the Deputy Speaker. If they are the same, I will defer my amendment to allow her to move hers first. However,...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I also want to weigh in on this one. My position on this is that all arms of Government must be enabled to operate equally. The percentage increase here compared to the decrease that is being meted on 16th November 2023 NATIONAL...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Even as I support, I want to ask the committee to look into processes and procedures that lead to procurement post-appropriation because after we have put money, our procurement takes inordinate amounts of time. I also think there is a...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I want an assurance that the increase here is not meant to facilitate our police officers to Haiti. Despite debating this matter in the morning, I later came into contact with a court order that was served to the Speaker of this...

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

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I support the amendments by the Committee on the grounds that the Authority being created will deal with very fundamental things, including the administration of drugs and the technology involved in this area. So, enhancing the experience of the Director-General to 15 years is appropriate....

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM)

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. To begin with, I had a proposed amendment. I support the part that seeks to add the words “persons with disabilities” in terms of being in tandem with the provisions of the Constitution. To the extent that it seeks to include...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am not anticipating debate but thinking out loud. If you look at the concerns being raised by Members and the provisions of Clause 23 and in light of the fact that we ought to have thought about traditional medicine in the...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Yes, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by —

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I wanted to contribute to Clause 8 (7) of the Bill which is not part of what the Chair has proposed to amend. I will ask to be given an opportunity to prosecute Clause 8 (7) of the Bill. The Temporary Chairlady...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Apologies, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I was speaking to my amendments when I was making my interventions. I later realised that the amendments as put on the Order Paper by the Chair and the Committee, on Clause 6 (c) that deals with the 15 years of...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Are we on Clause 7 or Clause 8?

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

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I have no comments on this Bill. I do not know why I have been called upon. I wanted to prepare for the other Bills. I spent three hours preparing for the previous Bill.

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise on Standing Order 95. Going by the mood of the House, and considering the fact that we do not wish to debate, and going by the previous precedent, I rise to ask that the Mover of this Bill...

Hon. Anthony Oluoch (Mathare, ODM) I have stood on my place under Standing Order 95 and ask that you gauge the mood of the House, that the Mover be called upon to reply because it appears that we do not want to exercise our right under Article 95 to debate....
