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. I want to agree with hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. The Standing Orders are very clear that this must be done in the Committee of the whole House. Over and above that, I have been in this House and I was agreeing with my colleague here that some of us are experts at Third Reading. Even in the last Parliament, sometimes in the Third Reading, we were only three Members and I have never in the history of my over six years in Parliament seen what we are trying to do today. The re-committal is usually done in the Committee ...

On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Of course, I had an issue there, but will not bring it up. My point of order is in respect to the fact that as a nation, we are in a crisis. From the information that we are getting, several Kenyans have been killed in Garissa through a terrorist attack. We have said that we are sitting until the business of the House is finalized today, but it would not be prudent for us, as a House, to sit and turn a blind eye to the fact that there is a crisis ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The point of order I will want to raise is in relation to what has just been moved pursuant to the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012. I just want to request that you give a substantive ruling on this issue. From what you have heard the hon. Member read, he has read eight conventions and protocols. If you look at the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, what it envisages is that we will be bringing the conventions as substantive law. What we are actually doing now is that by this Act, we are passing ...

is not in the intention of the law. We cannot pass eight substantive legislations like we are passing a minor Motion. We are passing laws that bind this country on very serious issues in one sentence. This is doing a disservice to that Act. I would, therefore, want to call on your kind office if you could, please, consider giving a substantive ruling as to whether we can move this Motion or whether it is, indeed, proper that we bring conventions as miscellaneous amendments. This is because there are many other conventions that will come before this House. Thank you.
