Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, this amendment might be well-intentioned, but it has all the hallmarks of fraud being committed. We will have people who will become professional caregivers just to live and hang on vulnerable persons. They will be unpaid, deficient and unsupported caregivers. They...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also stand here to support the Motion that has been moved by our good colleague, in respect of discharging the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill, (Senate Bill No. 38 of 2023) . Let me go on record...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the amendment under (b) is not clear. Probably, the Chairlady can explain a little bit. What problem are they trying to cure by saying: (2) “Despite sub-section (1) , nothing in this Act confers upon 29th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, let me join the Committee in adopting its report to annul these specific regulations. During the last term, I sat on the same Committee. If any aspect of the law-making process is shamelessly, routinely, and brazenly abused by the Executive, it...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am not contributing to this.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The beauty about our current Standing Orders is that I will still have my five minutes when the matter is slated for debate in the next sitting. As my colleagues have done so far, I also stand to support...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I understand, I have been here for some time.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary. I stand in solidarity with my friend in his Petition concerning land issues in his constituency. The issue of land conflicts has been clearly picked out in the Njonjo Commission Report, the Ndungú Report, the National Land Policy, and subsequent...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support Sessional Paper No.1 of 2025 on Kenyan Foreign Policy. As a country, we must leverage our strategic location, history and our connections. Our foreign policy should, first and foremost, be for the benefit of...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill that seeks to rectify the omission that was occasioned when we passed the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill. We should have picked this issue out but, sometimes, the process is rushed in this House and some...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I must admit that Mwalimu Omboko Milemba has raised a very fundamental issue, and also reminded me of the 23rd April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 4 Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)tribulations some of us have gone through in the process of...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I do not want to go down in history like the late Martin Shikuku. Let me withdraw that particular aspect.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, you must protect the Members and encourage them by allowing them to push their Bills through to the end. In addition, Bills are taking unnecessarily too long to be processed even in our own committees. For instance, the Budget and Appropriations Committee...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, let me withdraw and apologise because I do not want to go the Martin Shikuku way. The fact remains that Members are being frustrated.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)Dr Keynan can remember.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I just want to tell the Cabinet Secretary that the main saboteurs of this programme are the staff of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) . Whenever you go to their offices, they say they have no idea at all what SHA...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank our former colleague for coming back here. Allow me to ask the Cabinet Secretary two very basic questions. I will ride on the first question by Hon. Kawanjiku, QPN 2/2025, on the issue of teenage mothers who do...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, thank you for this. I also happen to use that road occasionally on some private business. Indeed, sometimes I literally hold my heart in my hands when I see a Miraa transportation vehicle overtaking me or coming head-on. Regardless of our big...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Yes, Hon. Speaker. The Constitution clearly demarcates the roles of the two Chambers of Parliament. It was always hoped and believed that the so-called senior Members who sit in the Senate would be the first people to protect the Constitution. The Fourth Schedule to...
