Jared Odoyo Okelo

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...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to borrow your thoughts on this. In reading Article 159 in its entirety, together with Article 152 of the Constitution, particularly Sub-Article 9 and Standing Order No.66, I believe that the drafters of the Standing Orders...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party purports to be reading between my statements, but he has really failed. I was saying that in line with your ruling, if we do not pass the list, then the entire thing dies in its entirety. I...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have two issues that I want to quickly run through. First, recognising that we are going on recess today, I raised a question as regards the remission of funds for political parties to the Registrar of Political Parties,...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the protection. The agitation coming from the Floor of this House is a testament that, perhaps, the list is not reflective of the wishes and aspirations of Members of this House. Hon. Speaker, whereas you have made a pronouncement...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think it is also important to let the House know that I sit in the overarching Committee that oversees the 2nd May 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 47 Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM)Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. I, therefore,...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, that will not change. You are a party leader and we are happy about it. The Political Parties Fund gave a 0.03 per cent of the country's Budget to political parties. We all underscore the role played by political parties in advancing democracy...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I thank you for giving this opportunity. I need your guidance and direction. In line with our Constitution, this House never legislates in vain. This regards the political parties’ affairs, specifically political parties’ funds. I am glad that you superintend a political party...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I am coming to my point, Hon. Speaker. The Budget and Appropriations Committee removed Ksh800 million from political parties in a Supplementary Budget. Even as we work on the next round of Budget cycle, at this point in time, my concern is to ask you...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for finally reaching to me in that catalogue. At the outset, I want to make it clear that I support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) I stand to withdraw that, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hope my time will not be tampered with as I make my presentation. I am glad that even as we come up with this new election panel, there is a proposal to retain one of the...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I am perturbed that I also mentioned the former Prime Minister and no one has been able to correct me. But when I talk about William Samoei Ruto, they are so quick to correct me.

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have been adversely mentioned by Hon. Oundo who brings unnecessary imbroglio into this matter. I am seated next to my Committee Chairman. These amendments originated from our Committee. I am assisting him to push these amendments to the very end. I...

Hon. Jared Okello (Nyando, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, the import of the Bill relates to the composition of a mediation committee, which is appointed by the Speaker of the National Assembly. The clause is intended to, in a way, gag the Speaker by cherry-picking only those who rejected the Bill...
