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.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. What Hon. Kimunya is saying is true. I do not know how we would cure the challenge unless we cure it through a re-committal or further amendments in future because it will be a bit of a challenge. We mixed the concept of the constitution of the committee and its functions and thereby we lost some of the critical functions. If you look at my proposed amendments in Clause 10, which we are now proposing to delete, it was to refine the functions which we have in the amendments that we have passed in ...

Although we have already passed, had we seen that before, we would have asked the Chair to do further amendments in Clause 9. However, because it is passed, the only opportunity we have is either a re-committal or wait for six months and bring a further amendment. If this one passes, it is going to affect my proposed amendments. In doing so, I know my amendments in Clause 10 will collapse. They already collapsed in Clause 9. The way the margin note is worded was about functions. So, that is something that the Chair needs to look at for legislative ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in Clause 13(2), I propose we add the word “law”, so that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) can be a person who is either qualified in science, information technology, business administration or law. I do not know whether I should move all of them at once or I go one by one because they are very different.

In Clause 13(5), I am proposing we remove the words “reasonable cause” and put the words “on any of the grounds stipulated under subsection (5A), which proposes the grounds under which a person can be removed. Most laws provide grounds under which a person can be removed. So, if you leave the words “reasonable ground” it is often subject to abuse. If I do not like you, I can just decide there are reasonable grounds. My proposal then is that we have a new Clause 13(5A) which provides the grounds under which the appointment of the CEO may be revoked. ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have said that when I am convinced, I do not insist. What Hon. Oundo is saying actually makes sense. Because they have now established the tribunal which has a person of the level of a Judge of the High of Kenya, it is okay. I really do not insist on Part (a), but the other parts really do make sense. I urge the Members to support the others so that we do not have arbitrary measures to dismiss the CEO. I am willing to drop the first part.
