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.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to urge caution that there is a level of excitement with the technological world. As a country that is still trying to introduce laptops to Class One pupils and teachers who have absolutely no knowledge of the technological world, we need to be very cautious on our excitement with digitalizing.

We are a country that needs to digitalize but also remember that more than half of the population is analogue because they do not even know how to read and write. So, we must be alive to that fact. Even as we move slowly to digitalize, we must be aware that we are in a country that is very analogue. I am both analogue and very digital and I am very proud. I do not want to pretend to be digital and, therefore, unaware of the communities that we represent. We do not fish using computer but we fish using ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to say that I am very happy that this Bill seeks to regulate and bring order and consistence in this sector which is good for investment. At the same time, we should ensure that we reform our governance sector because if it is not

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support. I agree with hon. Washiali that there is need for wide consultations on this Bill. I looked at this Bill when it was before this House. I am one of the people who sat here during the wee hours and I brought several amendments. I know it was acrimonious which is typical just like the Marriage Bill is bringing acrimony even before hon. Members know what it is all about. That is the nature of legislation. However, in order to carry people along it is good for hon. Members to know or ...

Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. I will be very brief. I will not go to the content of the Motion which hon. Laboso has very ably put. Indeed, there are some issues that I support in the EPAs and there are some that I do not support. The more fundamental issue that I want to raise is that this House passed the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, that I moved in the last Parliament, and that Act is very clear about the process of treaty making and ratification. Under Articles 7 and 8, it provides that in ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am very happy that today, for a short while, I was the acting Leader of Majority Party, and I am still the acting Deputy Leader of Majority Leader Party. I am happy to sit here purposefully and advise the Leader of the Majority Party, so that he can sufficiently advise the President on issues such as this one. I know Mr. Muturi well. He is a gentleman, good man, good lawyer and very unsuitable for this position. I do not support his appointment. I will give my reasons. He has ...
