• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. I have similar amendments to Hon. Duale’s. So, I agree with him that if his amendments pass, then it is the same thing I was proposing. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I congratulate the Leader of the Majority Party and the respective Committees. I have spoken to this before. I agree with Hon. Moses Kuria - which is very rare - that we are moving in the wrong direction. It is not good for us to pass a miscellaneous amendments Bill of over 60 pieces of legislation because every law passed is susceptible to challenge in a court of law. We talk about public participation yet Members cannot effectively The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: participate. If I am given 10 minutes to speak to 60 pieces of legislation, for how many minutes can we contribute? A more alarming trend is that we know how the legislative process moves and how Private Members’ Bills are tabled. There are Bills that come from the Executive and yet some are being disowned. In the case of the Children Act, there was a substantive amendment yet there is a whole Bill that is still in the Office of the Attorney-General that relates to the Children Act. I am not imputing improper motives to anyone. I do not know ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support. I want to add my voice to that of the Hon. Members, especially to that of my dear sister Hon. Martha who has supported and alluded to the fact which I have been confronted with. There are male Hon. Members who refer to those of us who have been elected. They say: “Hon. Millie, if you have been elected two times as a Member of Parliament, there is no reason why other women should not come through the same process.” I know many of us forget ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: affirmative action under Article 27. What this Bill seeks to do is give life to the principle of affirmative action. I want to speak as one of the framers of the Constitution. Even if you look at the legislative history, the framers of the Constitution intended that, after the 47 women that were in the last Parliament, we were supposed to have topped them up. Unfortunately, the last Parliament did not do so. Therefore, what we are doing is living to the dream of the constitutional framers. It is not only that. What we have is a situation where the ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I know that once we get the opportunity as women leaders, there is even a bigger role expected of us as women. With that role that is expected of us as women, I want to say that once I am on a platform where I am campaigning or competing with men, I will not support a woman merely because you are woman, I will support you because of credence and capabilities. Before you get to that platform, the platform needs to be made easy for you, once it has been made easy for you, come out, fight with the men, ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, for all the men telling me that I am a lioness, yes I am. First, I was nominated, I was not always a lioness. I was born a very shy woman who up to university could not even walk into a dining hall with male students. After that nomination, a man deals with me, mundukhu mundu. With those many remarks, I beg to support. view
