Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, on the same issue of identity cards, I will make a request to the Cabinet Secretary. There are very many young people who are joining colleges and universities. They have applied for identity cards and have 13th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just wish to ask this Cabinet Secretary what measures have been put in place to ensure that the NPS or the police adhere to High Court judgment or directive that requires any policeman assigned for purposes of riots or...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the absence of the Chair and the Vice-Chair, I will undertake to transmit the request for the statement. We request that the Member allow us two weeks after the resumption of the sittings of the House, sometime towards the end...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am always baffled when we waste valuable parliamentary time discussing someone who does not sit in this House. We were told that within two weeks after impeachment, he would be a non-entity, and that he would be inconsequential as he...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I know that the issue extends to other parts of Kenya as well. 7th August 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 21

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) I am sending him because he is a senior Member of that Committee.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) When the Cabinet Secretary or Principal Secretary comes to the House to answer questions, I hope I will be informed, so that we can also raise the issue of intermittent power failures, especially in Funyula Constituency and Busia County.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, sometimes we say “The rich also cry.” The Member representing the Chairman of the Committee and I come from the same county. Whenever it drizzles— not even rains— in Busia County, power goes off in almost the entire Busia County. Having...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I want Hon. Melly to listen carefully, intently and intensively, so that I can remit and commit this complaint.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I sympathise with my good friend, Hon. Melly, and I must sincerely, thank him for disowning the Statement. Thank you.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, as I said yesterday, schools are bleeding. Whenever any money comes to the schools, the education office literally calls for the money to be taken back to their offices. This year alone, I hope the Chairman is listening, they were forced to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Speaker, many of us who are here today have received many calls and representations to assist schools to attend the function and activities in Meru. I have a school in my constituency, Moody Awori Primary School, that is taking about 70 learners to...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to laud the Committee for approving the regulations that provide enhanced medical cover for those working in the public service. When SHA came in with the various laws, they abolished the preferential enhanced treatment...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this matter was raised earlier when the substantive Speaker was in the Chair. We need to be guided, because we have a Supplementary Order Paper. That is what we were told to refer to. Under the Supplementary Order Paper, Order 15...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would not want to delve into the legal issues because that is your forte. I just want to draw the attention of the hospitals that Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya gives the right to medical care regardless of...

Hon (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While responding on the same, I want the Departmental Committee on Education to clarify a matter that seems to be gaining currency in most rural schools. Are they referred to as junior secondary schools, primary schools or comprehensive schools under...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) The Order Paper appearing on this gadget we normally use, lists Order 17 as the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.31 of 2024) , by Hon. Naisula Lesuuda, which is due for Second Reading. There must be some confusion somewhere.

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I was saying, we have enough money in this country. Where the money goes, only God knows. One day, He will help us solve this problem. The money is there and we can operationalise this Bill within five...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, allow me to sincerely thank Hon. Lesuuda for this well thought out Bill. I also congratulate her for her courage to move to where we are. I stand here to second and sincerely thank all those...
