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.

The essence of the amendment is that if you look at what is provided right now, it says that the Council may dismiss any person for any behavior that they consider unbecoming. That provides a subjective criteria, but the law gives us an objective criteria under Chapter Six. So, I am replacing that with Chapter Six of the Constitution, so that the Council can use an objective legal criteria and not a subjective criteria.

In essence, this tries to include what we have already amended in the main part by providing that we recognize the people who are doing good work for women and children through human rights, also on the issue of national cohesion and integration.

We also need to recognize people who are doing good environmental conservation work. That was excluded. So, in the Schedule, I just want to bring what we did not provide ahead in the ...

I beg to move:- THAT, the Third Schedule be amended- (a) in paragraph 1 by deleting the words “without the permission of the chairman” appearing in item (ii) of subparagraph (b) and substituting therefor the words “without justifiable grounds”; Paragraph 1 provides that members can be removed if they absent themselves without the permission of the Chairman.

The danger is, if you have four members going out at the same time and you leave the other ...
