James Opiyo Wandayi

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I concur with the Motion whose notice has just been given by the Leader of the Majority Party. Let me just hasten to add that this is such an important moment for this country. It reminds us that every other time this country...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me echo the words of the Leader of the Majority Party. The Petitioner is within his rights to petition the House on this very important matter. However, I am of the very strong view that in this digital age, we...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have been sitting here watching the unfolding scenario in consternation. It behoves us, as a House, to be more orderly, especially when trying to engage in national dialogue. I do not think this is the right time for us...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) I am on a point of order, Hon. Wakili. Just be patient. It is important that at every single moment, the country is made aware of the position of the Government. The Government can only be one, whether we recognize it or not. There is...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Neither. If we shall believe neither of the two, then it behoves the appointing authority of those two gentlemen to give us a response on this issue. This is a very serious matter. It cannot just be treated in the light manner it is being...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, usually, I do not like interrupting. I am rising on the issue raised by the Chairperson of the Young Parliamentarians Association. I am told that he is yet to be elected. All the same, I recognize him as such. I get it from...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Yes. He was saying so on the basis that the issues raised in the Petition in question were not addressed conclusively by the Committee. I had a discussion with the Chairperson of the Public Petitions Committee this morning. We agreed that he needs to be...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I am sorry for interrupting the order of House business but I am curious. I am sure you can use Standing Order 1 to indulge me. A while back, Hon. Samuel Atandi raised very serious issues here. This is a House of records....

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I cannot agree more with you on this matter. It is not the first time we are raising this issue of perpetual absence from the House of the leadership of the Public Petitions Committee. In fact, it has now gone beyond the leadership....

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, let me also join you in welcoming the students from the various schools who are seated in the galleries of Parliament. We wish them a fruitful tour of Parliament and hope that they will take home some knowledge at the end of this...
