Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Truly, sometimes, it is an embarrassment to the people of Kenya. Members of Parliament are elected to represent, oversee and legislate. It baffles many of us how a Member of Parliament can fail to attend a sitting of the...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, let me stand to support the Bill, which seeks to grant county governments additional funds to undertake functions assigned to them in the Fourth Schedule and expressly stated in the Constitution. At the outset, let us...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. In view of what has happened in the recent past, where even boys who, simply, threw stones have been charged under the Terrorism Act, if the amendment passes as it is, it means that even on your phone, if...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second. (Question proposed)

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I commend the Departmental Committee Chairperson for this timely amendment. To be honest, 25th September 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 18 Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM)police officers and other members of the disciplined forces seem to be going through...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Chair, I wish to join in support of the sentiments expressed by Hon. Dawood. Article 115 of the Constitution of Kenya has been routinely abused by subsequent presidents to assume the right to make laws, a right enshrined in the Constitution and vested fully...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker… The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo, what is burning? Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I just want to make a point. I commend Hon. Daudi. Many times, Members prepare Bills, but getting to this level is...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On that account… The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma) In law, we say not even the devil knows what is in a man's mind. Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you. The devil does not come across my...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, during the Second Reading, I cautioned my good friend, Hon. Aden, that he is preparing a rope that will hang him sooner than later by including the word “terrorism” in this Bill. We already have an Anti-Terrorism Act. Introducing “terrorism” here...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, while these amendments are laudable, I think we are being over-reactionary. I have always told young people that if you do not have thick skins, enough shock absorbers or a big heart, then do not join public space. Because whichever way,...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to join my colleagues in thanking Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, the Member for the famous Westlands and probably the incoming governor, for bringing this subject matter to public debate. We have debated this matter for many years, since...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Perhaps the Bishop needs to pray for fathers to accept the outcomes of their endeavours so that they do not abandon their children's lives. With those many remarks, I support.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Bishop, for that clarification. Let me rephrase. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Yes. We are in the House of Rules. Give me a minute. I will give Hon. Oundo time to conclude. Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) As we...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) But I am still on the Floor, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also stand in solidarity with my colleague Hon.
