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.

I just wanted to debunk the myth that women in this House are not doing an excellent job. There are women in this House doing excellent and terrific job. I hope her people will remember her for the excellent work she is doing in whatever she wants to go back for in the coming years. I want to congratulate the Chair of the Committee because she has brought us to speed as a House in terms of the regulations they have dealt with. She has said they have done 85, if I heard her correctly. Fifteen have been annulled in ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. From the outset, I support and congratulate the Committee for a good job. Yet again, I congratulate Hon. Sabina Chege for doing an excellent job as the Chair of the Committee. I want to repeat that women are doing excellent work in the House. Even now as I speak, the person on the Chair is a female Member. Mr. Speaker, that is evidence that even when women are given an opportunity, they do excellent work.

Sorry. I meant Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have reached a level where you can qualify to be both Mr. and Madam Speaker. You have done an excellent job such that you qualify to be both. During the constitutional review process, the church opposed the Constitution partly because of Article 2(6) that provides that international laws and treaties that are ratified by Kenya shall automatically become part of the laws of Kenya. To correct that, I tabled the Treaty- Making and Ratification Act and through that Act, we now see so many treaties coming before the ...

the Protocol. I want to thank the Ministry because even as we wait to ratify the Protocol, they have already started taking measures to ensure that they follow the provisions of the Protocol. Part of the issues this Protocol deals with is to control illicit trade and practices, including manufacturing of counterfeit products, tax evasion and smuggling. I am sure one of the driving forces for many countries is to make sure that revenue goes to the right place. If we leave this illicit trade to continue, it increases accessibility and affordability, which results in consumption of tobacco going up. ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I promise I will not mention names. I want to support the Report. When the event occurred, it was the period that we call politically “the silly season”. During that season, people do a lot of things that they either do not mean or they would not do when they are not silly. I agree with the Committee in their finding.

For those people who are aspiring to join Parliament, one of the things they need to learn is that once you come to this Parliament, the dynamics completely change. Things are not what the public think of Parliament and politics. Indeed, the handshake that we saw of our principals is a testimony of what our political landscape is, especially at the higher level. People may contest, but they are not sworn enemies. Even if I disagree with one person or the other, I am not doing it because we are enemies, but because we are contesting. I am very amused ...
