Millie first thought about becoming Mbita MP at age 13. The graduate of University of Nairobi School of Law has worked as a lawyer and women and children rights activist. The CRADLE is one of the MP’s dream come true. She founded the organization that promotes the rights of children since 1997. Millie has received the YWCA Democracy Award and the Eve woman of the year for human rights and gender. Her political tipping point came when she served as a delegate at the Bomas of Kenya, during the constitutional drafting process. ODM party nominated her to Parliament 2008 and she clinched the Mbita seat in the 2013 election.

not cater for fishermen, but when I look at the Report which is not the treaty, it seems to have good provisions. As a lawyer, sometimes what is reported is very different from the text. Page 5 says that the Kenya marine and inland fish make a significant portion of export to the UK, and Article 87 to 89 of the Kenya-UK EPA focusses on fisheries and aquaculture which endeavours to promote effective exploitation, conservation and management of inland fish resources and within the exclusive economic zones. It also talks about EU commitments to capacity building, training programmes and to ...

It is a hook. We will be going to Northern Ireland with a hook while they will come here with very big machinery, for instance, trawlers to fish. Based on this, and that is why I am saying that I will be going by faith, if what has been said here is there, then it will protect fishermen. I am only saying that I am going by faith because I have not looked at the text. The devil is in the details of the legal document which is the treaty itself. I am very happy that I brought the Treaty ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I notice that Hon. Sankok wants to say very strange things. That is why he is contributing in Kiswahili so that he can confuse some of us. However, he has not succeeded.

Is he, as a person who confesses that he is a hustler, in order to allege that his hustler followers are drug addicts? That is what he is saying. That is why Hon. Duale is attacking him. Why is he abusing his followers?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Even as I support the Report, one of the comments I made then and I would like to make now is that this BPS is fairly business as usual. It does not take into account the circumstances under which we operate as a country. We have just experienced COVID-19 which still subsists. There are weather-related shocks and 2022 is an election year. But if you see the way the BPS is couched, it mentions those challenges, but does not actually propose a clear strategy to deal with them. The BPS is very optimistic and projects a 7 per cent economic ...

Thank you for indulging me two extra minutes. We usually do Bible studies in my house on a daily basis and I have learnt a very powerful lesson from my grandchild, Dana. As adults, we like giving complex solutions. Yesterday, we were talking after reading the first Chapter of the Book of Joshua, where the Israelites were moving The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

to Canaan. Everybody ought to have said which lesson they had learnt from the story. We were talking of issues like God’s faithfulness and all that. However, Dana asked why God was taking other people’s land and if the Israelites had paid for it? That is the mind of an 8-year-old child. You could actually see that she was in shock. She even went ahead and asked what the Benjamin tribe remaining behind would leave their children with. Our budgeting and legislation must have the mind of a child. Let us not use complex economic theories. How does it affect ...
