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. Speaker, Sir, the issue I want to raise has to do with a ruling you have given. I need clarity because it is going to guide us throughout the life of this Parliament. You have just indicated to the Member for Laikipia that when a committee brings a report to the House, Members of the committee have a right to change their minds on it. A ruling has been made in this House before and during previous Parliaments to the effect that one was not allowed to change oneâs mind and that if one wished to dissent, one would ...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, Sir. First of all I want to apologize for raising this point of order at this point, but because it affects my participation in this House, I must raise it. Hon. Speaker, Sir, at this point we are raising the issues that you ruled on - many hon. Members were standing up on points of order. You singled me out. Hon. A.B. Duale singled me out. I am seeing it as a pattern to intimidate. Indeed, as a matter of fact, I had an opinion that was similar to that of Jubilee on ...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, Sir. As much as we are cognizant of the fact that we have very many new Members, and that is why those of us who are older are exercising a lot of restraint, especially when hon. Members are giving their maiden speeches, would I be in order that the Speaker do guide Members even in their maiden speeches, which, out of decorum and practice, we cannot interrupt. They are still obligated to follow the rules of the House. If they do not know them, the Hon. Speaker needs to guide them; they should ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to say at the outset that I do not support the Motion, because this is not a legislative calendar but a summary of the Standing Orders. Indeed, I have heard that we are saying that this is a digital government. Looking at the Membership of the House, I appreciate that it is fairly digital. We have very young and dynamic people. Unless we keep them busy, we will have problems.

On this calendar, I would like to give an example of what I mean. On the calendar, it is indicated âmorning sitting, afternoon sitting, afternoon sittingâ and âMajority, Minority, business not sponsored and Majorityâ. Under week 28, we have the same information copied and pasted.

I expected a digital House to tell us that in week one, we will have before us the Agriculture Bill and the Fisheries Bill that was pending before the last Parliament, the Victim Protection Bill and a Motion on this and that matter. The so-called âcalendarâ is merely a summary of the Standing Order. It is actually a calendar that is analogue. So, I want to urge the Leader of the Majority Party to, please, conform. Some of us can train him on how to be digital. This is very analogue.
