Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also stand to make my few comments on the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2024. We have found ourselves in uncharted waters. It is an unprecedented situation that we have found ourselves in. This is the first time in Kenya...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Okay, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me repeat. The Budget Appropriation Committee has clearly told us the budget cuts is Ksh146 billion. 24th July 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 151 Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)We were told that the impounded Finance Bill was to raise...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Supplementary Bill, 2024.It is, indeed, an interesting situation we find ourselves in. It is unprecedented because we are preparing a Supplementary Bill even before we implement the Bill that we passed just a few days ago. This...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion as presented here. I am not from Bungoma County and so, I will make general remarks concerning the observations laid on the Table and as moved by the Committee....

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding facilitation of National Government Administrative Officers, specifically from Samia Sub-County. Hon....

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the amendment brings a very interesting case. Probably, the county governments will need to move with speed to designate a public notice board at the county, ward and village levels. Each village must have a formal notice board, where items advertisement...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, it is just a follow-up on Questions and Statements. Sorry to take you back. We seem to have a backlog of Questions directed to the Cabinet Secretaries to answer here. I have Questions from the other Session. I have resubmitted close to...

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the amendment. I want to draw the attention of the House and the country as a whole to the fact that one of the most important aspects of this amendment is to deal with double taxation. As one moves...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) No. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : No. (Question, that the word to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Clause 14 as amended agreed to) Clause 15 The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Mover.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Let me speak as he is still looking for his microphone. Hon. Temporary Chairperson, the original Bill that came from the Senate had no mode of communication. In this regard, the Committee having listened to the members of the public, it became necessary to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I also echo what my colleagues have stated. Basically, the argument presented by members of the public is that I can choose to start a business anytime of the year. I am not conditioned to start it in January or 1st...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the beauty about legislation is that we keep improving the law. Two very important issues need to come out very clearly. Yes, the Bill is about uniform licensing. We want to dissuade people from believing the licence paid for a particular...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I am proud that the young first-term legislator has caught up well. He now understands the law-making process and is always keen to pick out the technical issues unlike others who talk on generalities. This is an adoptive Bill for counties...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, let me send my sincere condolences, on my behalf and the people of Funyula 30th April 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 54 Hon.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is very interesting. It is coming on the heels of a judgement by the High Court that said that the Government is not necessarily new to recovery procedures in the event of failure to honour a judgement or a financial...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairperson, that is a progressive amendment and we need to support it. But let me go back to the gist of the amendments in totality. I am not so sure whether the National Land Commission has reported that it was unable to...

Hon. Dr. Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I come from a school of thought that everything must have an end-point. It cannot just be an open cheque and an endless process where we litigate non-stop. Even election petitions, as emotive as they are, have timelines. Even the presidential...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. The Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands could probably give further clarifications on review of grants and dispositions now that we are removing any time limit. We would be interested to know if...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill of 2024. Most likely, it arises from the discussions of NADCO. We stand here today to debate this amendment Bill...
