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.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I concur and I want to congratulate the Member for Sabatia for having a similar amendment. To encourage the Member, one of the ways that you get to contribute is to do exactly what he is doing. There is no choice. You have to contribute.

The reason for my support is that I do not understand why we want to stop the Commission from making regulations for vetting.

Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose. I oppose because one of the reasons that the Commission has been having challenges is that, sometimes they do not get the quorum and sometimes they are blackmailed by the members, especially from the Service. In fact, a day or two ago, I saw them pool their members. If they do not have a quorum, it means you have effectively killed the Commission.

What I am seeking to do is to remove 14 days notice for any meeting. We can see very clearly that this Commission is a very busy one. Therefore, if you give it 14 days every time they want to meet, it is a way of crippling it. When you want to cripple the Commission, you do not cripple it by directly saying “bring down the Commission”, but by doing very many administrative actions that then cripple it and it makes its work difficult, one of which is of course, raising the quorum to impossible standards and the second one ...
