Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo

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) Hon.

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.

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...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to ask a supplementary question on Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that many JSS schools have, at the very best, three teachers for Grades 7, 8, and 9? Is he aware that some...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, sometimes, I am surprised that we bring laws to this House without proper ventilation and without thoroughly considering the import of the law. First of all, I want to go straight to what the Leader of Majority Party always says: That...

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As the Cabinet Secretary was answering a question, I received a request to ask a question on behalf of my constituents on the localisation of teachers. Some teachers are still delocalised in faraway counties.

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

Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is the National Assembly that makes laws for Kenyans and prosperity of this country. Looking around the chamber, I hardly see more than five Members. I draw your attention to the fact that there is no quorum in the House...
