• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think Hon. Mwaniki and Hon. T.J Kajwang’ are consulting on these issues because they are lawyers. I also suspect they are thinking that this will proceed to tomorrow or any other day. I am sure they will give their contributions then. That is such a weighty issue that you cannot purport to liberalise the training of lawyers. I went to the New York University after my degree in law at the University of Nairobi (UoN). Even after getting my Masters form New York University, I would not be allowed to practise in the US until ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because for the more than 20 Bills that have been brought before them, they picked out those issues. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am raising this because I know I may not reach all of them because of time. I want to give another example of the ones they may not have considered. It is the Children Act. First of all, for the last 10 years, the children sector has been working on a comprehensive amendment to the Children Act. We are bringing an amendment that looks minor to make the Child Welfare Society an adoption society and by the proposed amendment, it is going to kill all other adoption societies. By that proposed amendment, it will also kill the Children Department. ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: cheated. I have only spoken to three and my time is up yet I have prepared comments on more than 20 pieces of legislation. I support but with amendments. I will be bringing some of my proposed amendments at the Committee of the whole House stage. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: we used to laugh at one of our African countries that would offer degrees that are very questionable. Kenya has distinguished itself in terms of quality education. Again, on the Civil Procedures Act, I am very happy for providing for the Rules and Procedures Committee. I was not happy with Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in the recent past but, because it is the only women’s organisation that also represents women lawyers, it would be good if we included it; not just the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). If that is not possible it should provide that the two of ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for noticing that. It had been brought to my attention that my name starts with Akoth Odhiambo. Not many people know that I am Akoth Odhiambo. I would therefore request the IT Department, even as I am standing, to change to Millie Odhiambo but if they must bring all the names, they can put Gesa Gesa . At least people know that one. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: There is another one called Gesa view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: that I am popularly known with on the ground. I wish to support the appointment of Hon. Chepkong’a. I will try to be very fast. One, when we were with him in the last Parliament, he was very dedicated, committed and articulate. He did his work well. Mbadi has said he sees a challenge that he was a sycophant. The only challenge I saw with him is that he did not listen to the women in this House. He was not very friendly to us women. The voice of women sometimes can be very lethal. Other than the fact that ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to encourage Members, and the Leader of the Majority Party made reference to it, that the Members who work the hardest in the House are the ones that rarely come back to Parliament. We do a lot of excellent work but a lot of times our constituents do not see. I encourage Members that even when we are working, let us not forget that our legislative role which is our primary role sometimes is not very evident to the public. We must therefore have a foot here and also a foot on the ground. Having said that, ... view
