WANJALA RAPHAEL BITTA SAUTI

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Fifth Report of the Committee on Implementation on the Implementation Status of the Report on Petitions and Resolutions Passed by the House. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Fifth Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on the Implementation status of Reports on Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 3rd...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hold your moment. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Hon. Member is misleading the House and Kenyans that you can grow food without rain. Further, he went on to say that they have water in a reservoir. That means the water came from rain....

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Wanjala, allow Hon. Memusi to finish. What is your point of order, again? Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am clear. It is not that we cannot grow crops without rain, but we can irrigate. I am saying that for you to get...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. While I thank His Excellency the President for his speech, I did enjoy it as a musical instrument. (Laughter)

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to agree with him that Uasin Gishu, like any other county, deserves development. However, how does he envision someone from Western, Budalangi, travelling to Eldoret for a simple thing, when it would have been done in Busia or Kakamega? This is what I am saying:...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to tell the Hon. Member that it is only the Senate that is mandated to deal with county functions. I am dealing with an issue in which the National Government has released funds to the county government to build that hospital. The national level is...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not against what is happening in Eldoret. At paragraph 16 on page 4 of the President’s Address, he said, “I have often spoken of the Asian tigers—South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia— countries that at independence were our peers in nearly every measurable way....

No! I have had enough advice. I am not opposed to MRTH in Eldoret. However, the hospitals in the majority of our counties cannot do anything. They are dilapidated, yet we are using Ksh50 billion in a hospital that already exists and only needs expansion. Why do we not allocate...

The Bible says that those who have more, more will be added unto them. They are content because they have more, and more is being granted to them. Hon. Wanjala, you have taken a lot of time. There were several interjections. It is okay. I will give you an additional...

I did not suggest that it was wrong. I appreciate it, but I would like to emphasise that businesspeople have incapacitated this country, which is why we are lagging. They take a lot of money from the Government. If we procure more equipment and employ additional personnel in the Army...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with her. However, it is not the Army that will be manufacturing cement, tarmac, metal, timber, boots or the clothes they wear; what I am talking about is the manpower to do the work. She has even mentioned the progress of building the biggest stadium....

Of course. For Instance, in the United States, the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic. Those are the three top ranges there. The same thing is in the United Kingdom (UK) and many other countries. So, having a few exceptional top referral and research institutions in the country,...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with you, but the Hon. Member said that they have not had tarmac roads since independence. It has now been 60 years since independence. That means that for 60 years, that area has not had a tarmac road. Even the Director-General has confirmed that they...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, as I was saying, we can then allocate the President more money to distribute as he sees fit. But each constituency should get at least Ksh1 billion for the roads. The President is trying to distribute electricity through Kenya Power. We are happy about that. But we...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Wanjala, what is your point of order? Do you have a question? It is a point of order. The Prime Cabinet Secretary is misleading the House. Some of us live along the lake border, and people move in and out when they...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Lake Victoria is a shared resource. All the water in Lake Victoria comes from Kenya, since all the rivers that flow into it are from Kenya, except River Kagera, which flows from Tanzania. River Kagera does not flow through Tanzania. It comes from Rwanda. Yes. But...

Hon. Speaker, the Prime Cabinet Secretary did not answer my Question. He did. No, he avoided it.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: Fourth Report of the Committee on Implementation on the implementation status of the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Circular No. 04/2025 on...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Notice of Motion, Fourth Report on the implementation status of the Report of theCommittee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public.... Hon. Wanjala, are you reading something or giving a notice of Motion? Sorry. It is the Fourth Report on the implementation status of...

Hon. Speaker, I left here and walked like this. I was walking back. (Laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not want to debate on this matter because you have given direction. But I would like to ask the House, especially the Leader of the Majority Party and the Office of the Clerk, that when such commitments are made but not fulfilled, they need...

Hon. Speaker, we have not received those House resolutions.

I have taken up the challenge. (Laughter)

Busia.

Hon. Speaker, the people of Busia, Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori who live along Lake Victoria, which is a shared resource, have landed into problems as they go fishing. The boundary is not indicated and our people are arrested by the Ugandans, who keep on extorting them. If they do...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker. Mama Zamzam, take your seat. Yes, Hon. Wanjala. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Even from the Bible, she is given whenever she asks for something. (Applause) Which Bible are you quoting? Hon. Speaker, it is in Genesis. (Laughter) Just tell us that...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Wanjala. What is it? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is not only the Kenya Medical Technical College (KMTC) students who are suffering. Students who join universities are supported by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) . What about other middle-level college...

Ona point of order. Yes, Hon. Wanjala. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the same issue, when they classify a place as a hardship area, they have discriminated other government officers and only pay teachers. Yet the other government officers like the police, agricultural officers, Deputy County Commissioners (DCCs) , assistant...
