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.

I can give an example, I have a Child Justice Bill that has been in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. I have the Assisted Reproduction Technology Bill, on which I have appeared before the Health Committee. They have assured me that they are considering it, but it has stayed pretty long in that committee. That Bill came twice for Second Reading and was stepped down because the Committee was not ready. If the Bill process is going ahead of the committee, I think it will be fair if you let the Bill proceed so that the committee ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. On the issue of the disorganisation in the Senate, I commented on my Facebook profile and I will not do so here because we all have different miens. Having said that, I only have two suggestions. You have already talked about one of them, namely, that the Procedure and House Rules Committee needs to come up with a procedure for co-sponsorship of Bills. Already in the Committee, we were confronted with three Bills that are similar, namely, the Public Participation Bill, the Healthcare Bill and the Community Health Workers Bill. If ...

My point of order is that Hon. Mbadi who is seeking to inform us has not done so. So, I need him to be clear. I want to give a background of when you have a system that is contributory and the same time fixed. As a lawyer that is a mongrel. What we need for purposes of us documenting is to be very clear even in his information on the system we have. This is because the system we have is a mongrel.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Bill. As Hon. Otiende was looking at it with a fine-tooth comb, unfortunately, I am not able to because I forgot my glasses. However, I will do so for purposes of ensuring that I have not left anything out because this is something that concerns us. Nonetheless, I want to respond to the issue that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing - I cannot remember if it was him - has talked about. This issue of the three different Bills ...
