Geoffrey Wandeto

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Some of us have been complaining about what we see as continued Executive overreach, especially Cabinet Secretaries and maybe even regulatory authorities, doing things that are clearly outside their mandate in law. This House has a duty ahead of it....

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Half of my constituency grows tea, while the other half grows coffee. Anything that we can do at this time to alleviate the plight of our farmers, as a House, will be adding value to the lives of Kenyans. It...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is a good reason why Hon. Owen will not be able to campaign in Gatanga. Gatanga is clearly ‘Wantam’.

Hon. Geofrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support privatisation, but I do not support this Bill because it has a number of deficiencies that need to be addressed before it can be passed in this House. Many speakers before me have alluded to some of them...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As you have correctly said, I had brought before you a Motion of Adjournment to debate this very serious...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have said, I had brought a Petition to you. (Loud consultations) Hon. Speaker Yes, give Hon. Wandeto an opportunity. Wandeto, you have three minutes. Compose yourself. Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you. I start by saying that the...

I do not know which other way to get your attention. I have been trying to do that on the last two raised issues. Let me say something now that I have your attention. My attention is on the intervention button. Member of Tetu, I do not have you on...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also have two Requests for Statements that have been pending in this House for a long time. One is from the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security. The other is to the Departmental Committee on Labour. It has...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion before us today. At the outset, the attack on 7th October 2023, where approximately 1,300 Israelis were killed by Hamas and about 300 taken hostage, was...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour regarding payment of salaries, terminal dues, and other benefits to former employees of Nyayo Tea Zones. Nyayo...

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

They are my neighbours. 4th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 Hon. Geoffrey...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to also eulogise Prof Ngugi wa Thiong’o. I knew him and had an opportunity to speak to him about five or six weeks ago. His rallying call all the time, as he spoke to me as a young leader, was to always remember...

Thank you very much for the opportunity to also rise and support, especially the Report from the Chairperson of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture. I was a Member of this Committee before I was surprisingly de-whipped when I refused to support some impeachment Motion that...

Unfortunately, Kenyans will now not see me talk, especially the people of Tetu who love me dearly. Be that as it may, allow me to proceed. I thank Hon. Wamboka for the timely intervention, especially trying to confirm if this is sabotage. Actually, I am informed that it is the...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, you need to protect me from the continuous points of order. I will now let you proceed uninterrupted. I know that my friend, Hon. (Dr) Oundo, would like to make further input. It is good that Hon. Wamboka is giving me words of comfort. However, we would...

Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto (Tetu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. That is comforting. The substantive issue that I would like to raise is that despite this House allocating a lot of money to our State corporations year in, year out, they have become dens of corruption, mismanagement, pilferage and plunder...
