    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to comment on the Petition by Hon. Sumra, the Member for Embakasi South because Parliament cannot legislate in vain. I remember when we joined this Parliament, Hon. Koinange from Kiambu County moved a Motion pertaining to the treatment of emergency cases, whether you are in a private or public hospital. The issue of demanding payment of a deposit before treatment was done away with. We passed a resolution that a patient must be attended to. We should not lose patients because of selfish people. I call upon the Committee on Implementation - I saw Hon. Soipan somewhere - to follow up so that we can know the implementation status of the Motions that we pass. Today, as we celebrate the anniversary of the late Vice-President, Wamalwa Kijana, I brought a Motion urging the Government to upgrade Kitale Technical Institute to Wamalwa Kijana University of Science and Technology. Up to now, the Government has not implemented that Motion. As we celebrate this hero, we call upon the Committee on Implementation to let us know the status of the Motions we pass. It seems we waste time on Motions. Do they have any meaning?"
