Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I truly support this clause. There are many retirees who take up to 20 years without seeing their pension. It is immoral, as a country, to have people who served our Government for so many years still waiting for their...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree with the Hon. Chairperson. In clause 29 (a) (i) , the Council of Governors will definitely have a latitude to nominate one of their own, but with a rider that they must have the requisite knowledge and experience on matters...

Hon Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the rejection of this clause by the Committee stems from the fact that we do not want to give importers of sugar more leverage over our own. Therefore, the rule must apply universally. So, we reject this Senate amendment. (Question, that the...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) The elephant in the room is this idea of zoning. If you look at what we have dealt with before this, we rejected any element of zoning because we do not want our farmers to be boxed into a corner and, therefore, have absolute control...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order 91. A pattern is developing in this House. Each time we are objective in a matter such as this, we are told that the NG-CDF will be reduced and there will be no financial...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) What is out of order is what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is telling us; that if we reduce the budget, it will affect even issues of this House. But I also reject this Bill in total in line...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Whereas you have closed that debate, I would like to take a tangent from what both the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party have talked about. We have lately seen discordant voices,...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Even though you have called me at the tail-end of the session, I have a few remarks to make with regard to the Report on Equalisation Fund. A quick background over the same, when the drafters of our...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much Hon. Speaker for allowing me to joyride on the Statement as read by Hon. Rozaah Buyu. Hon Speaker, the situation is uglier than she is putting it. When the idea of coming up with the Kisumu Northern Corridor that joins the...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. My friend, Member for Emgwen, the rumour out there does not really touch on the 22 per cent in its entirety. There are two sets of pricing when we gravel roads in our constituencies. The first pricing relates to...
