OWINO, MARTIN PETERS

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker for your indulgence. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary–

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) No, Hon. Speaker. The reason I asked this Question is I need clarity from the Cabinet Secretary because she has fiduciary responsibility to make sure that there is value for money and wastages are prevented. This is a 19-kilometre long security road for Ruma National...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that you cannot legislate moral standards, but it is also true that you should not provide an environment to encourage such behaviours. TikTok is one of the impacts of the ongoing events and it is yet to be...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. 27th July 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 38

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, in this House I hardly interrupt people but some positions need to be respected: know what to say, how to say it and to whom. This is not about the Luo. Is he in order to say what he said, profile the...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I think you have the discretion of rearranging Clause 76 to precede the others just as a matter of procedure. Is it very difficult to do that?

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I oppose this Bill. The reason is that the priority of Kenyans is food, education and healthcare. If you increase petroleum products tax from 8 to 16 per cent it means we are negating all those gains of...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support this Motion and thank Hon. Tindi Mwale for bringing it up. As a public health specialist and a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, I am really saddened by what is going on. From...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I respect the speaker, but is it in order to refer to this side as the ‘Opposition’ when we clearly know that we have a presidential system? You are supposed to oversee the Government. Can he be educated that there...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank my Leader of the Minority Party for bringing this Motion. Hon. Owen Baya, this is a very important Motion. It is true that some Kenyans are going to sleep on empty stomachs. Some students will go to school...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank you and appreciate the time that you have given me. I also want to add my voice to this Motion. This is a sad case. We are very ashamed of the Supreme Court for making that ruling. That...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice by conveying my condolences on behalf of the Ndhiwa Community. This was an iconic lady and a role model. The late Hon. Grace Onyango was a pioneer in championing women’s affairs. You could not...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to say something which is close to my heart. The Bible says that a borrower is a slave to the lender. That is where we are as Kenyans. A country that cannot feed...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the opportunity is appreciated. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development the following:
