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.

On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am perturbed. Parliament has spent millions taking us through an induction course and the Leader of Majority Party is serving his second term and over and above that, he is also the leader or the purported Leader of the Majority. Has the Chair not seen the Leader of the Majority Party walk across like this is Garissa Market? He has no respect for this House. That is why I rose earlier on, on a point of order for hon. Mbadi to teach him some nyathe. He needs to know some nyathe. ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for indulging me. You know I am usually very diligent and I always carry my card. I think today I had a very busy day. I just wanted to raise an issue relating to the Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party. One, I wanted to call upon you to give a ruling because of the Parliamentary practice, especially from what I saw in the Tenth Parliament; we were allowed to interrogate. What has been happening is that every time we have tried to intervene in relation to the same in this House, we have ...

For instance I have three Bills some of which even came for First Reading in the last Parliament, but we do not know where they are. Perhaps, if the Leader of the Majority Party could respond on the issues that I have raised that touch on him, and if you could give direction in relation to the first issue that I have raised, it would be good. Thank you for obliging me.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank hon. Junet for raising that issue and, perhaps, I would want to request him to raise it as a Statement because it is not an issue of counties. Issues of policies and principles are issues of the national Government and I know, for instance, it is not just the issue of age that must be interrogated. It is the issue of age, gender and ethnicity and we have laws that set standards that are not being followed. For instance, the National Cohesion and Integration Act which provided for one-third rule is being ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the concern you have for us especially those of us who have been waiting for long to contribute. However, I would really just want to encourage that this is a debating House and I am seeing a growing trend that we keep rushing Bills because of one day or a few minutes. Unless there is a specific constitutional or legal timeline which I am not aware of, it is okay if we come and debate it on Tuesday so that we do not have this business of rushing Bills. Sometimes we come ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sorry for eating into my friend’s time, but I would like to request from the Chairman of the Committee or the Clerks’ Office for some assistance. I have actually looked at this Bill and at the back and after the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons where you have sections that are supposed to be amended, we do not have some. To facilitate interest even of more Members on this important Bill it is important that that is included in this Bill; it is the normal practice.
