OUNDO, WILBERFORCE OJIAMBO

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2022/2023. I must laud the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for taking us through a basic or elementary lecture on economics and macro-economics. As I have always...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is true it has schedules. However, the schedules it has have got the vote programme and revised Budget Estimates for Financial Year 2022/2023, but they do not provide the comparative analysis after Supplementary Budget I. I am lucky I went to school, and I can read...

Hon. Chairlady, if you look at the Supplementary Order Paper, I had an amendment that was not encumbered by Article 114 of the Constitution. However, it has already been overtaken by events. I also want to totally agree with the Chair of the Committee that my amendment has already been...

Hon. Chairlady, as much as this sounds correct and nice, we are now pre-empting debate hoping that Clause 76 will be carried. I do not know how to proceed because this predicates Clause 76. What happens if Clause 76 fails? We need guidance so that we do things in a...

Hon. Chairlady, I need your guidance. I had an amendment which was not subject to Article 114 of the Constitution—Clause 20 on page 617 of the Supplementary Order Paper. I need your guidance on how to proceed, since you have not called out the same. Thank you.

(Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo spoke off the record)Yes.

THAT, Clause 20 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (b) —

Obviously, I am not satisfied with the explanation, Hon. Chairlady. I want to take the Chair to the specific provision in the original Bill. Clause 20 (b) (3AA) says that a person who receives rental income on behalf of the owner of the premises shall deduct tax therefrom: provided that...

Hon. Chairlady, I think there is a bit more confusion that could arise from the way the Supplementary Order Paper is presented, or for those of us who have no adequate background in accounting. If you go to page 592 on (r) in case of digital content monetisation, you will...

I need to check… Hon. Oundo, unfortunately, you have already spoken on this. That is what I was thinking, because my memory does not serve me wrong.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I stand to join my colleagues in the debate in support of the Motion that has been submitted by the Decentralised Funds Accounts Committee in respect of 26 constituencies in various counties in this country for the financial years 2013/2014,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on the Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.42 of 2022) . The cardinal role of a legislator is to pass laws. From a practice point of view, we should allow any legislative proposal as far as...

Thank you for the information. I am just being polite and sympathetic to the promoter of the Bill. Obviously, being a young man, where I come from in our community, we do not put down a young man with harsh words. You allow him to ventilate and talk his heart...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, therefore, we must revert. That is why we are saying that these conventions are not domesticated because 26th April 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 37 once those guys run away, they will engage you in a ping pong game. They will tell you to go for DNA, then...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also congratulate the Member for Kipipiri for bringing this Statement that highlights the dire situation that our citizens find themselves in, in the Republic of Sudan. Conflicts can erupt anywhere. They are always with us all the time. However, the hallmark of a nation...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am seated behind Bishop Khamala and I want to make a special plea that you allow him educate us and preach to us the importance of the doctrine of fasting, religion and the path to heaven. As a Catholic, we believe in Mathew 6:16-18...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Wilberforce Oundo, are you also on a point of order? What is out of order? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wanted to rise on a point of order. However, looking at the faces in the House, especially of the first-time Members, I...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, probably I am not a good reader of the mood of the House, but looking at the faces, all Members being called to contribute do not seem to want to do so. Allow me to make a few comments so that I leave the rest to proceed...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Luckily enough, mine is working. I want to ask my colleague the Chairman as he asks for supplementary information, to please add this question. Sexual harassment is not only confined to tea farms in the agricultural sector, but cuts across the entire workforce where women seek...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have argued that this is a House of debate. We should be allowed to debate matters of national interest without being gagged probably by people who can make more noise than the rest. Hon. Oundo, I have given you the Floor to debate. Why do...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, can you compel the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to listen so that he can answer? Or, should I proceed because this is on Hansard and he will miraculously hear what I am about to ask. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. Martha Wangari) : Hon. (Dr)...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Legislation transcends national boundaries. It must bring some form of cooperation and pursue the endless form goal of globalisation such that there must be some uniform sets of rules, regulations and laws that wherever you go, if it is an offence of murder, it remains...
