ODM party nominated her to Parliament 2008 and she clinched the Mbita seat in the 2013 election.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Committee for this Report. My comments will be very few because most of what I wanted to say is in tandem with what other Members have said.

I know it is something that has come before the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I thank you for the Communication. Given that a court had made a decision that they do not want to be involved in the internal affairs of a society, I am happy that the Law Society of Kenya has said that they sat and deliberated. I hope the Petition shall be in line with the decision and vote of members because if members have decided, have voted and have a majority, I urge that the membership do consider the Petition. As a member of the Law Society of Kenya, I would support, ...

Finally, I am surprised to see that nowadays, we allow religious regalia. I have seen a Member in the regalia of Roho maler. We call it Roho maler in my constituency. The Member is wearing the uniform of Roho maler. Is it a parliamentary dress code? It is called Roho Msambwa The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
