James Opiyo Wandayi

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Speaker, let me join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. This is the way forward. Regions the world over are consolidating their markets for competitiveness. Therefore, we can no longer just sit back and say that it is enough for us to stay alone...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second the Bill. Thank you very much. (Laughter)

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) It is very clear, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) It is totally unreasonable to require two years to understand your work. If you give them a three-year term, they will only work for one year because they will need two years to learn. It does not make sense. What kind of absurdity is this?...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) I withdraw the word “bullshit” and instead say “unreasonable”.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) What kind of a manager would you be if you required two years to be inducted into your work?

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Or a sentence. That is good enough. I hope I will not be very far from that because I was also around when these things happened. The salient feature of this Bill is essentially the reconstitution of IEBC by and large. To take over from...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Why would someone raise a point of order on such an obvious matter? Coming back to this Bill, it is very progressive… (Hon. Naomi Waqo consulted with Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah) The Deputy Majority Whip, I am addressing the Leader of the Majority Party on a...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Why? I have not even spoken, I am laying the foundation.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) I am asking if there were to be a vacancy in the Office of the President and that of the Deputy President at the same time.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. I want to thank my good friend, the Deputy Minority Whip, who was on standby to perform this onerous task in my absence. Now that I am back, I have taken charge....

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Let me join my colleagues in extending my condolences and those of the entire Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Parliamentary Group to the immediate family, friends and relatives of the late General Francis Omondi Ogolla. It was unfortunate that I was unable to attend the...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, for sure Wandayi and land grabbing cannot be in one sentence. What the Leader of the Majority Party is saying is extremely serious. Is it possible that you could persuade him to name this officer? This House cannot continue to operate in...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I suppose I have 10 minutes or more. I am not sure. I seek your advice on the number of minutes that I have to contribute to this Bill. Let...

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I hope Hon. Opiyo does not have grabbed land.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Can you compel him to name the said police officer?

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise on two issues. One, given the anxiety that has engulfed the nation following that helicopter incident, I do not think it would be proper for the House to continue with business as usual without clarity being provided on...
