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, let me drop that. I think I have cured the mischief in the earlier part. I formally withdraw the proposed definition of “importer”. If you see the note I had given the Directorate of Legislative Services, I had indicated that at a later date, they need to give more flesh to the benefits we want to give to our importers. However, because there is none already that we are giving, it will be sitting without any feet. So, I withdraw.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, now I think you understand when some of us complain and say that when you bring many miscellaneous amendment Bills, it is very chaotic and difficult. What we are looking at is the e-paper that has now come before the House, but if I look at my own amendments and the parent Act, it is a wrong provision under 19(e). I stand guided. I do not know if we can make reference to the substantive section in the parent Act. If you look at what I have indicated as the provision under the parent Act, it ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you listen to me carefully, you can make your ruling on that. It is not in the Bill, but in the past, unless our procedure has changed, the procedure has been that so long as you bring an amendment, let us say to sub-section (e) of a Bill, then you open it up to amendments. I can actually bring amendments on that section if I see a problem. That is what I have done. I have not limited myself to what the Leader of the Majority Party brought. I have opened it because I have ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you notice, I actually have two gadgets. I have my own proposed amendments and I have the ones that have come in the e-paper from the Legal Directorate. My proposed amendment does exactly what the Members are saying, only that I gave very many amendments. It is probably very challenging for the persons who are dealing with them. This is neither here nor there because Hon. Mbadi is really pushing so hard for a premiership position and for Cabinet Secretaries to be in the House, it will not cause me anything if the amendments come.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support. I can see Hon. Duale was challenging Hon. Sossion, maybe, because he is a unionist. I have said it before, that whenever we tell people about interests, if we were to declare our interest boldly, then I would also declare my interest from a governance perspective. This is because I think his interest from a unionist perspective is not personal.

2 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Having said that, the reason why I am supporting this amendment is that there is an emerging trend from a governance perspective and I have seen it in a lot of the Bills that are here. The Cabinet Secretaries are taking a lot of authority upon themselves and they do not want any other bodies that they are answerable to. They want to be the appointing authority and they do not want independent bodies bringing persons to the boards that are under their ministries. That is a very dangerous trend. The way we have moved, from a human rights perspective ...

Thank you. Is Hon. Duale in order to be misleading this House? We are not legislating a person because he seems very pre- occupied with Mr. Atwoli. He has declared before the House that he saw Atwoli with many women. We are not legislating beauty or such issues; we are legislating serious issues and he should not mislead the House that we are legislating about a person but a law. NHIF is not a person.
