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 Chairlady, since I am dealing with them under one paragraph, that means when they go to Article 27, they will look at them in totality so that if in Paragraph (f) they appointed a man, in Paragraph (e) they will look at both women and men. So, it still makes sense.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Crops Act, No.16 of 2013― (b) in the proposed New Section 9A(1) by deleting the words “through a” and substituting therefor the words “ through an open, transparent.” I am adding the words “open and transparent”, so that when you are appointing, the process is not only competitive. I noticed during the times Parliament was conducting its selection process in the 10th Parliament that there were offices that would come and claim they have selected people through a ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as a governance expert, words have significance. You can be competitive without being open and transparent. I can decide to call people and ask them to apply for a position. It will be competitive because I have included 20 people, but it will not be open and transparent because I will have called my friends to apply. In good governance, when you add the words “open, transparent and competitive”, they complete the circle of good governance.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my point of order is that Hon. Kimunya is misleading the House. I have been in this House and I legislate a lot and in many pieces of legislation the standard wording is “open, transparent and competitive.” I know that because I have moved most of them. I am not going to withdraw this amendment. It can be put to the vote. I do not mind losing, but I will go on record that I prefer open, competitive and transparent process. I want to tell Prof. Oundo that there is nothing wrong with the civil society ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have listened to Hon. Kimunya. His argument supports my amendment. Looking at the Act, the proposed amendment seeks to delete the words “established under the Supplies Practitioners Management Act 2007”. It is deleting the Act which then means we are going back to quacks. I am agreeing with Hon. Kimunya that is why I am bringing the amendments. We need to refer to the Act that talks about supply professionals. If you oppose me, it means you are agreeing with the proposed amendment to do away with the Act so that after we pass that ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you notice, I had a proposed amendment to now what would be his (l c). One of my concerns is to get an explanation because it does not make sense to me why he should move a portal from a dedicated authority to the National Treasury. If his amendment is passed, then mine falls. So, I would love to know why we would move the portal from an authority that has dedicated technical skills to the National Treasury. That is what he can explain.
