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.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill and congratulate the CORD Minister for being very hard working. Indeed, he has brought many Bills before this House even though they make us work late in the night. I want to congratulate him and also encourage the Minister for Finance to be informed what Jubilee is about and not to be copycats without knowing what it means. Jubilee is a year of deliverance. So, for those of us who have been oppressed, you are actually just telling us that you will be delivering us. So, we are happy ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill. In doing supporting the Bill, I wish to congratulate the Minister, especially in the definition of “public health officer”, who has been clearly defined as “person who has undergone the prescribed course of training in an approved institution and holds a diploma, higher diploma or degree in environmental health”.

Secondly, I would like to encourage hon. Ntoitha M’Mithiaru not to be worried about CORD forming the next Government because in law, we say ipso loquitur – the first speaks for themselves. We shall form the next Government. So, relax. We shall take your concerns into account and we shall continue with the good services of the Attorney- General who has really performed way above your expectations. So, congratulations to the hon. Attorney-General who was also my teacher of jurisprudence.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to make one or two remarks. One, perhaps there is need to cross-reference to The Treaty Making and Ratification Bill. We need to know where that Bill is because there are some references that we are making in this Bill which are in The Treaty Making and Ratification Bill. Again, I want to declare that I worked at the Office of the Attorney-General before this Attorney-General.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate hon. Karua and the organization that has brought this petition.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you. Given that we have a very short time and very heavy business, I would request that the Leader of Government Business brings to us next week not just what he has read because usually he will read what is indicated but come next week, you will find about 20 other Bills that are scheduled and then we do not have much time. Like right now we have so many amendments and it is not in order really for us to be passing Bills without participating and being involved ...
