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.

I support and encourage Hon. Sankok, that if he looks at the Constitution, persons with disability are 5 per cent and it is progressive realisation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you remember, when the first Constitution came, we as women, opposed it because there were no numbers. I have been in this country long enough to know that when we do not have numbers, we will not realise what we are looking for. We left the numbers, the principle at two-thirds and only put at the 47 counties. Up to now we have not been able to get the balance ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021. As the Mover has indicated, this Bill seeks to amend several health laws, including the Pharmacy and Poisons Act The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

and the Mental Health Act, amongst others. It also does a clean-up some of which are really simple amendments like changing the word “minister” to “Cabinet Secretary” in conformity with the Constitution. I just have very brief comments. One of the things that I have seen runs through is that it seeks to enhance and harmonise governance structures in relation to the Government’s

Policy. I want to indicate one of the positive things. I will not go to each and every one of them but, for example, look at the amendment in relation to the Pharmacy and Poisons Act. One of the amendment seeks to ensure that part of the people who are appointed would be four persons not being public officers of whom three must be from the pharmacy profession appointed by the Cabinet Secretary by virtue of gender, disability, regional balance and their knowledge and experience in matters relating to accounting, pharmacy, business management, public health, economics, law or any other ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the positive things I will pick is the conformity with the Constitution on gender, the issue of disability that I think we spoke about on the earlier motion and the issue of regional balance but above that, it also seeks to enhance the issue of expertise. I think this responds to one of the issues that we were discussing in the earlier Motion on the appointment of a member to the SRC. Despite the fact that we know there are very many qualified women, they are not just appointed because they are qualified but ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is not fair for you to say that you were hearing some noise. I am a very senior and honourable Member. I do not come to the House to make noise. I come to the House to contribute. The systems are not working and I have already given notice to the ICT people to come and assist. When a Member raises an issue, even when you are not able to see them in the system… We are not mental to raise issues, especially now when Members are campaigning.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Now, Hon. Kamket has raised a further point of order by implying that I am admiring him. I do not think he is taking after Hon. Duale in the list of the Members who claim that I am admiring them. I do not think he understands that I left Kenya and went all the way to the south of Africa. I have an import. How can I be admiring him when I have an import? Having said that, my original point of order was ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank Hon. Gladys Wanga for bringing this amendment Bill that supports artists. At heart, I am an artist. If I were not a Member of Parliament, I would probably be a musician and dancer, especially dancing to Nyambita . I know one of my opponents went to report me to one of the churches that I am dancing and one week later I saw him dancing to Nyambita as well. Having said that...
