I want to emphasise one thing on the counties because we are having many problems in constituencies, especially...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the concern of Hon. Duale is taken care of. When you specifically go on to say who should remain and who should go, then you will be drafting another Bill. So, instead of voting no, Hon. June...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. When rules do not follow the laid down rules, that is an offence. The scrap metal issue needs to be revisited, especially when it comes to vandalism and illegal trade. We urge the Executive and Parliament to look into...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank God for the gift of life, also the gift of health and all the providences that have managed me to be in this House. There are some things I have learnt from you and admire. One,...

Hon Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Hon. Deputy Chairman, I thank the Chair for this. It is very tedious to come up with a Bill and move it through all the stages. Most of us are going to be victims because my Community Health Workers Bill has just passed June 2,...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) There is nothing like bottom-up in this country. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele) : Hon. Nyenze, Member for Kitui West.

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) That is very interesting, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support the Chair, Hon. Gladys Wanga. It is also said that if you milk a cow to the veins, a kick is eminent. Overtaxing Kenyans does not mean we are making more money....

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndiwa, ODM) Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I really support this. We have seen it with COVID- 19 and as a Member of the Committee on Health I must say we need to motivate our firms to start producing human vaccines. When things get tough, each...

Hon. Martin Owino (Ndhiwa, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I just want to remind Members that when we have proceedings in this House, we are even watched by the House of Commons. I had the privilege of meeting one of my friends who is a Member of the House...
