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 know you wanted to say Nyasuba but if that is difficult, just say gesa gesa, it is easier. Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I need clarification from the Chairman of the Committee as we make this decision. My understanding is that the Chair is saying we have different ranks. Unfortunately for me, unlike Duale, I do not come from the military background whether by marriage or otherwise. I come from a church background by marriage. But, what I understand the Chair of the Committee to be saying is that we have a rank called “Petty Officer” and then there is ...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support the Committee Report. In supporting, I indicate that I thank the committee for the places they have visited. Even without having participated with the committee, you only need to drive just a little out of this town to see we are having a serious problem. This weekend I drove past Mai Mahiu as I was going to Nakuru to attend a ruracio and one thing caught my eyes. I loved this church around Mai Mahiu one time when I wanted to wed; the church that ...

do not want to delve into because of the way it has been politicised. The only thing I can say in that regard is that when the weather changes, if it is extremely hot, it affects all tribes. It does not affect one tribe. Weather and climate change affects everyone. It does not affect Raila Amollo Odinga alone. As a country, we need to be serious and look at all these pull factors. Another pull factor is the use of charcoal and timber. We must find alternative sources so that we are not just talking and not providing alternatives. The ...

In Madagascar, there is a plant called rosy periwinkle that has changed the chances of children surviving the cancer called Leukemia. In Ethiopia, there is a plant called endod that has helped them significantly. It is just a plant that women used to clean their shawls with, but now it has helped them in unclogged sewers even in the United States of America. Here in Kenya, we have the Mwarubaini and plants that we have not seen. Most of them are found in our forests. I want to speak to the issue of indigenous trees. Many times when I am ...

Finally, I just want to challenge the Member who was making his contribution. I did not want to interrupt him because he is fairly new in the House and he will learn slowly, that Raila has not been losing perennially. Otherwise, we would not be going to the court. Even the Supreme Court had judged otherwise. Since he is new, it is okay, at least, we will get to know him. A lot of careers are built on Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga. So, we will get to know him by using Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. With due respect, it is not important to have an agreement between you and the Chair. Members need to be clear on what is going on. What the Chair of the Committee has read is not in the Order Paper. If he is seeking to amend further what is in the Order Paper, then he needs to do it formally. He cannot move amendments in a jua kali manner. It does not matter whom he has consulted with. He has the powers as the Chair. If he ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have two major concerns. One, when the Chair moved, he gave the reason why he is withdrawing the amendment. So, if we were to go by that, it means we are not even going to discuss the substance.
