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.

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

Hon. Deputy Chairman, I had actually put an intervention. If you look at the New Standing Order No.212A, there is something wrong with the way it is drafted.

Having said that, I just wanted your direction on Standing Order No.259. It is appearing as a new amendment. I am referring to the one that has to do with the Speaker designating seats in the Chamber. Even though it is not indicated as a new Standing Order, ideally it is. I do not know how we are going to deal with it. With your indulgence, I would want to seek an amendment to Standing Order No.259. It is on Page 79 of the Supplementary Order Paper this afternoon.

Is it a new Standing Order? If it is a new Standing Order, could you just direct?

Yes, Hon. Deputy Chairman, I was just wondering because it appears as a new Standing Order even though it is not indicated as such.
