WANJALA RAPHAEL BITTA SAUTI

My dress, my choice.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Thank you for the first clarification, which we humbly understood and agreed with. But you have left out the second issue about the Leader of the Majority Party in the House.

Hon. Speaker, courts are arbiters. When they give orders or declarations, it is up to the institution to implement them. They are not debated. You have seen the ruling of the court.

I want to debate, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true and without any doubt in my mind, that…

Hon. Speaker, I know you understand the law. In this House, not all of us are lawyers or competent to critic the rulings of the Court. You have been in the Courts and you know that if anybody is in doubt of court orders, he or she should seek an...

Hon. Speaker, we have a procedure of withdrawing from coalitions. You do not write letters right, left and centre. We have a procedure on how to move out of our political parties. You have to resign and go back for a by-election. So, anybody purporting to have withdrawn from Azimio...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, after Millie Odhiambo, I am supposed to be the one who follows and you have “jumped” me. Are you referring to Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona? Yes, Hon. Millie Odhiambo. The Minority Whip? Yes. Then you have to speak properly. Minority Whip. It is me who is supposed to...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Third 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 Thursday, 5th December

Thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this important Motion. I have served in Parliament since 1997 when you would come to Parliament and finish five years without doing anything in the constituency, apart from holding harambees. The salary for a Member of Parliament was only Ksh70,000....

Hon. Speaker, sorry, I have a cold. I want to agree with Mheshimiwa Omboko that there is unfairness by the Departmental Committee on Energy, the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We have only 290 constituencies in the country. Why can we not agree...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. We are Members of Parliament in this Country. This is Parliament. People are not appointed because they come from specific constituencies or villages. They are appointed regionally because they are qualified Kenyans. The Member for Kabuchai knows very well that...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Wanjala, what is it? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Government wants a 100 per cent transition to high schools. You will find that it pays capitation for each student, but the teachers have added a levy of about Ksh6,000, Ksh10,000 or Ksh12,000...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply and thank the Hon. Members for their contributions. The most important thing that I want to ask the Cabinet Secretaries and departmental heads, is that, when they do budgeting, they need to include some monies to enable the implementation of some...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. (Question put and agreed to)

On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Kajwang’, do you want to be informed by Hon. Wanjala? (Hon. TJ Kajwang’ spoke off the record) I want to inform the other Member.

Thank you, Hon. Kajwang’. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to inform the Member, in broad daylight, with glaring media all over the country that, in December, all the people in Soy assembled at the President’s home in Sugoi. They were being given a loaf of bread, a kilogram of sugar...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, why should I apologise for the obvious? Kenyans saw it. They were lining up to get food in December. (Loud consultations) Order, Hon. Wanjala. You are saying the entire Kenya knows and yet, I did not see it? Do you want to apologise or not? Hon. Temporary...

First, I want to agree with the Member that Budalangi is a floods-prone area. We expected the President, who is the President of the whole country, to bring food to the people of Budalangi when people were getting that food in Sugoi. The people of Budalangi are staying in camps....

On record, Hon. Temporary Speaker, exactly what you have directed. People with food should not be lining up at the President's home.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I withdraw. He should also withdraw. The Hon. Member should withdraw because he said that it is the Luhyas who are lining up there to get food. (Laughter) Hon. Wanjala, do I hear you withdrawing the statement you made? Hon. Temporary Speaker, yes.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Wanjala. Hon. Speaker, as you have rightly said, we will take a vote. This House recognises three types of voting; namely, acclamation, electronic and roll call. As I sit in this House, we are in concurrence that Prof. Kindiki is the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. This is the second such Motion I am participating in since I became a Member of Parliament. It is the second one to discuss the impeachment of our Deputy President. I am very disturbed by...

Hon. Speaker, the Deputy President has only been seen in those places when accompanying the President. He has never gone on his own to see the destruction caused by floods. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) did a disservice to this country. The EACC is responsible for vetting candidates who...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Wanjala? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member tells this House that they have not exhausted their disciplinary mechanism in UDA. Why did he then decide to sign the Motion?

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Wanjala. What is out of order? Give him the microphone. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The accused, whom we are debating, was supposed to be here by 5.00 p.m. It is 5.07 p.m. Can we bar him from coming because he is...
