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.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That is actually very good information. So, I do not need to bring it. In the last Parliament, we did it. We need to see in this Parliament. Our leaders must be corrected on where they are going wrong. In the last Parliament, we discovered that both the President and the then Prime Minister had surpassed the legal provision by one person each. We forced them to comply with the law. So, in the same manner, we must compel the President and the Deputy President to abide by the law. These are the issues that wars ...

This issue of always giving women less numbers when a constitutional provision says that it must be one-third is not right. It is unconstitutional. I would have been happier for once if it was the opposite. It would have been nice for once if we saw that there are five women and two men so that the men can also argue. Let us also have another point five man for once. It cannot be that even small things like these, we cannot get women who have degrees or masters in this country. This is totally unacceptable. I hope that the ...

Hon. Speaker, I can see people are trying to make me the Speaker by seeking my opinion on whether it is the “Nays” or the “Ayes” that have it. That is not the reason for my rising on a point of order. I just wanted to get your direction. The Motion that has passed is urging the Government to move in a given direction.

Will that Motion be considered ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the amended Motion even though I know it is coming after a disappointment for us. We were hoping to get the requisite numbers, but we did not. I want to thank all the Members who voted for and against this Bill, and those who abstained. We will live another day to persuade our Members who were not with us and to re-strategise on how we can come back because we must be inclusive as a nation for women, youth and young persons. I want to thank the Chairman of CDF for bringing ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for directing me because I have been struggling. First of all, on this issue that we are discussing, if a Member has an amendment, they can bring a further amendment to their own amendment. That is procedurally correct. In the last Parliament, you could even move the amendment on your feet more or less like the Mover of the Bill because it is your amendment. It is only this Parliament that is operating differently.
