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.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I told him and he should listen carefully. I said that this morning I warned the male Members from “oversighting” women’s private parts. That is a matter of fact. I said it. So, you cannot tell me to withdraw what I said. It is a matter of fact that I said it in another forum. The reason I said it is in relation to double standards. The other time when Hon. Sonko attacked Rachel Shebesh, we were not able to speak on the Floor. Now, he is on Hon. Esther Passaris and you want us to ...

If you look at what we are discussing, there is more than one nominee, but who are we talking about? You would think it is only one person that we are talking about in the appointment. Who are the names of the others? I do not know because we are all talking about this one woman like there are no other people. Let us leave women alone! Somebody here is telling me there are four women. You will always pick one, the same way you picked me on the Floor of the House. We will deal with you perpendicularly. We ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I support the Bill. I also take this opportunity to wish our Muslim brothers and sisters Eid Mubarak as they proceed tomorrow. As I was looking at this Bill, I had a sense of deja vu because I thought we had dealt with it before. But I realise that it had appeared in the Order Paper several times, that is why. So, it is good that finally we are discussing it, because it is timely and necessary that we have this Bill. Other than the reasons that Members have ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to agree with Hon. Kaluma. From where we were seated he was saying, to use the language of Homa Bayians, that you are very conjugal, meaning you are very bright and happy. So I thank you.

You. At the outset, I want to agree with Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal that we should oppose this Bill in totality. It should not even be based on the technical issues but on principle. We finished dealing with Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill yesterday and it took us a long time. Before that we were dealing with another Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that had 60 pieces of legislation. In effect, if you look at what Members of Parliament are dealing with, we are not doing our legislative work as envisioned by the Constitution of Kenya and by the law, because ...

issue is just about doing exams, then remove the diploma so that we just do degree and start practising. The practice of law is not about doing exams. All of us do exams from all parts of the country and of the world. There are people who do degrees in Kenya, India, and England. I have studied law both in Kenya and in the United States of America (USA) and they are very different frameworks. If I had not done my LLB in Nairobi, it meant that I may require doing more units because the USA system of law is ...
