Omanyo Catherine Nakhabi

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As sure as death occurs, taxes are inevitable. Every Kenyan, be it a former President or former Member of County Assembly (MCA) or any other person involved in building of this nation, should not evade taxes. I concur with the Petition, but what I do...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is staggering to watch families that have worked and fought very hard to own something in their motherland lose it overnight. We have seen clips of some Kenyans abroad who even do shoddy jobs to get money to...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Leaders should sit down and talk cohesively and peacefully so that no one loses. It should be a win-win situation.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) We cannot hear you.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was saying that we should, as leaders, do something whenever we hear somebody has bought land, whether legally or illegally. These people have settled with their families and may have a child who is to sit for her...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to quickly investigate the Ministry of Education. We want to know, since 2019, who did the procurement, what quantity, and who they supplied to. I come from Busia County, and every...

(Technical hitch) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion fully. We have lost too many lives… There was a technical hitch. Road accidents happen because of human behaviour in Kenya where most drives ignore the recommended speed. I remember the late Hon. Michuki brought speed limit commands which...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Insurance (Amendment) Bill. It always seems like people have to cut their noses to prove that they were hurt or they were involved in an accident. In today’s scenario, insurance companies put ahead cumbersome claim settlement...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) I have just arrived. Give me 10 minutes.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Bill has made me smile today because somebody thought it wise to bring it before this House. If you look at the health facilities in the villages, their infrastructure is in question. 12th October 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) On a point of order. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Hold on please. Member for Busia, is it the English that is too tough? What is out of order? Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) I want Wanjiku to understand. The Cabinet Secretary...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I am hurting. There are people born and raised planting sugarcane and understand everything that entails sugar, but there are people here representing someone’s interest and not Kenyans’ interest. You cannot be a Member of Parliament and be on...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia, ODM) Thank you. I was there and witnessed. I was challenged to get more committed. We were in Berlin watching people living with disability playing smart, slowly but surely, get more medals than people without disability. When I came back, I realised that all of us...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia, ODM) The point is how we look at people, describe, call and discriminate them simply because they have challenges. That should not make us define and deny them chances. I will support anytime there is an opportunity in offices, houses, and let people with disabilities give...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia, ODM) I hope one day this country will wake up and do something for the sake of people living with disability. Thank you.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is very important that we discuss this Bill. I have always known that there is a food safety management system in place, but the occupants of that office either do not care or are busy with business. We...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is important for all Kenyans to be responsible for building their own nation. There is no single day when a neighbour or a friend from far away will come and help you open your eyes to what God...

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Catherine Omanyo (Busia County, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second this Motion which I am part of. Before I sit down, there are more observations that we made. We realised that there were many similar Funds with the same vision, mission and facing the same challenges. There...
