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.

We want to encourage them to know that we no longer have a police force but a police service. They must use a human rights-based approach in dealing with members of the public. What has been happening in our airport today is indeed very embarrassing. Visitors were clobbered by our police. It is embarrassing for us as a nation and I hope such things can be of the past when the commission comes in. They are also coming in at a time when there are increased cases of gender-based violence. There is problem that is going on in this country. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Without going to the thorny issues about KAA and KQ, there is a very significant issue we are missing as a House. We should be fixing problems. There is a problem the country has today. The problem is that there is a conflict in relation to rights. On one hand, workers have a right to strike and on the other hand, there is right to security, especially of travellers. Evidently, there is a problem. Once the storm is over, this House must come back and fix it. We must ...

You can actually abuse the position of the speaker; if for instance, you have a speaker who then takes the nominated Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) hostage as it happened in Homa Bay County. Therefore, if you raise the bar it means you will be having a person who is rogue and is not subject to any authority or rule. The counties should be a mirror at the national level. If we have such a standard at the national level, why do we want to shield a speaker at the county level? Have they become goddesses or gods? We need ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Even though I agree with the Leader of Majority Party, Hon. Thuku has raised an important issue that the House should be cognisant of. Is the Hon. Member in order to say that if you add an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya you will be discriminatory? I do not understand how adding an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya is being discriminatory. I am speaking as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. We are being marginalised, as lawyers. Increasingly, we are being removed from every appointment yet everything to do with ...
