Jeremiah Omboko Milemba

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Last year’s Finance Bill, having received the kind of reception it got, was courtesy of partly what the workers indicated as a drain in their pay slips in terms of several tax deductions. But I am happy for them since...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for protecting me. I am really surprised that the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party is prejudicing with casualty and casualness the death of five family members: father, mother and three children. Another family lost two people and only one...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the tragic fire tragedy in Makina area, Kibera in Nairobi City County.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Yes, it is in Petals of Blood. You are a master. Thank you. In Petals of Blood, he tried to bring out that theme very confidently. We should have more tolerance in our times for literally works and with those behind such works. So, when...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to eulogise Ngugi wa Thiong'o; a great writer who influenced many of the readers of the time and the children. Young people would compete on how many books by Ngugi and other African writers they would...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have listened to a very eloquent and seasoned speaker in this House, Hon. Oundo. (Hon. Onesmus Ngogoyo spoke off the record) Please relax. I am a very senior person and more experienced than you in this House. Please chill!

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Oundo has mentioned to Kenyans that even when the devil is talking to you, you need to allow your family, children and other people to listen to him. I ask him to withdraw that because the devil is never good for your family, siblings...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your indulgence. First, it would look like teachers have more hardship areas, but it is because of their way of zoning. The TSC went for an education zone system. An education zone is far much smaller than what you can...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) That is the history, but let me come to the second one, which is about gazettement. I pick up from what the Member of Parliament for Taita Taveta has said. The zoning of these hardship areas and the proposal to degazette them... Remember the one...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Hon. Speaker, I will only contribute for one minute. It is very good to have great lawyers in Parliament like Hon. Millie. Her proposal can mitigate some of the things I spoke about which are policy related. For example, many of our teachers will be...

Hon. Omboko Milemba (Emuhaya, ANC) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to join the rest of the Members in standing with all Christians around the world, especially the Catholic faithful. I say pole for the loss of the late Pope Francis. The Catholic Church is great. It has...
