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.

25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to raise only two issues in relation to that matter. We agreed yesterday that we meet at Hon. Koinange’s Office and I was there on time. We called Hon. Kaluma several times, but we were not able to reach him. Unfortunately, because of mis-communication, he and Hon. Pkosing went to a different venue. So, they were meeting on their own as the Chair and we were waiting for them. We were not able to harmonise the amendments. Ideally, it would be better if we met because it would hasten the process. However, if ...

Hon. Speaker, I am not raising a point of order on the not-too-aged because you already gave your direction, which I will abide with. I will bring the amendments in the next Parliament because there are some things that, as a lawyer, I am embarrassed that we can put, like the right to legal dignity. There is no such right. They should have consulted with lawyers. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

That aside, I am just concerned with what Hon. Wamuchomba is raising. We have Bills which you have even given direction around them. We have Bills that come from the National Assembly, and some are very similar with Bills that come from the Senate. Some of the Senate Bills are even younger than the ones that come from the National Assembly, but the Senate ones come ahead of the National Assembly. It is like the private Members who have done work… I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee and so, I happen to know. It is like the Members ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with the President. I had earlier raised it with the Speaker. I hope the House leadership is listening. I forgot to emphasise the same. If the Departmental Committee on Health cannot bring their report on the Assisted Reproduction Technologies Bill that has twice been listed on the Order Paper, can the House leadership table that Bill? The court has decreed that we make such a law. The President has now decreed that we make such a law. Hon. Millie Odhiambo has brought such a Bill. Can the Departmental Committee on Health stop ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 22 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “sixty days” appearing in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the words “ninety days”.

The amendment seeks to ensure that there is consistency in timelines between Clause 22(1)(c) and Clause 22(2). Since I do not have the Bill, I do not know whether it is a presumption of an earlier proposal which was made. I ask Hon. Kaluma to confirm this.
