Geoffrey Wandeto

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support and commend the Committee on Delegated Legislation for initially rejecting the Regulations that were brought before them. This shows that this House has teeth to bite. It also shows that our committees do a thorough...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. David Ochieng’) Hon. Wandeto, what is out of order? Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there are many things out of order, but the one I rise on is Standing Order...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you very much for the opportunity to also contribute to this Sessional Paper No. 3 regarding the partial divestiture of Safaricom Ltd. Let me, from the start, say that I have a number of reservations, especially regarding how this divestiture has been structured and...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not sure what his point was, but let me proceed. As I said, even grandmother wisdom from our traditional African culture is: when you want to determine the true price of your goat, you take it to the market....

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill that seeks to amend miscellaneous fees and levies. At the outset, as a country, we have lost 86 years of railway development. The last railway, before the construction...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the interesting discourse brought to the House. I rise to support this Medium-Term Debt Strategy, and the people of Balambala should be proud of their Member of Parliament. They sent a capable representative to this House. Many of the...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, they say the guilty are afraid. As I conclude… (Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah spoke off the record)

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I did not refer to anything. That is just part of my submission, which I will substantiate. I have not talked about anybody.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am well guided by the Leader of the Majority Party that we should not debate the National Infrastructure Fund. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) Order, Hon. Wandeto. Withdraw and apologise to the House. Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for doing a good job in responding to the questions by Members. Until yesterday, I sat in the Departmental Committee on Regional Development, which oversees some of the activities that we are discussing...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this very important Motion. I support the sentiments of the Committee. We live in a very lucky generation. In one generation, we have seen the advent of the internet, the smartphone,...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Because, Hon. Temporary Speaker, your instructions were explicit that he should apologise. Now he is debating his own statement and making it worse. I am also a product of Kenyatta University, and I feel very bad about what Hon. (Dr) Oundo is saying.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you. The Financial Reporting Centre is an important guardrail in this country in the war against illicit flow of funds, financing of terrorism and corruption proceeds. Kenya being part of the international community, it is very important that we have a strong Financial Reporting...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill that is amending the Industrial Training Act. I want to also congratulate Hon. Oron for the foresight in bringing this Bill to the House. We all understand the importance of certification to...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Maybe I should just say we certify trades that are lawful and beneficial to the country. My other point is that at the end of certification, can we issue tradesmen and craftsmen not only with certificates but also with work...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also do not wish to contribute to this matter. I am waiting to contribute to the next matter.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, those of us who come to the House believing in merit and sit patiently waiting for our turn to speak get a little frustrated when we see a different method being introduced. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this addendum on the cost of power in the country. Power competitiveness is very, very important in any economy. I have heard someone say that he wants to move this country...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. At the outset, I support this Report that seeks to nullify these two illegal circulars. This country is slowly and gradually marching from being a democracy to an autocracy; a very sad event that is unfolding in...
