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.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to disagree with my learned senior, hon. Olago, that the interpretation by hon. Mbadi is 100 per cent legally because we would not have the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, which are put there because there are as many and varied legal opinions as there are lawyers in this country. If you look at that interpretation on the face of it, you may draw that conclusion. But I want to say that we have said in this House that even by way of practice of this ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Order Paper, you will notice that I have asked Question No.1729. We were surprised this morning when we were comparing notes to notice that the Question that the hon. Member for Gwassi is asking is the same one I am asking. So as to save the time of this House, I kindly request if I could be given time, as the hon. Member for Gwassi has also requested, so that we consolidate our Questions.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Minister for that response. I think the spirits connived so that hon. Mbadi and I would ask this Question at the same time. My father comes from Rusinga Island. So, I am a Nyar Rusinga, but settled in Lambwe Valley. Therefore, you can still refer to me as a

Mr. Mbadi says this road is being done in portions. We are very much concerned about the issue of quality because this is the only place I have seen roads being done in that manner. We were with him when he launched the construction of that road with the Prime Minister. The bridge to Mbita was---

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify what the Ministry is actually doing to ensure that road is actually done to quality standard because the way it is being done now compromises those standards?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mbita does not actually have a lot of services and relies a lot on Homa Bay. So, a lot of women suffer when they have to get services in Homa Bay. I have heard the Minister indicate that the reason that there has been a delay is because of the heavy rains. Everybody who comes there including Ms. Karua who had a Question, knows that that is not a rainy area. So, rain cannot be a reason for the delay. Is the Minister willing to go with us on the ground, to accompany Mr. Mbadi ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister, please, clarify, because he has indicated from the synopsis that it is actually the Ministry which is at fault--- Indeed, this was an issue that was countrywide. In Mbita, there was a young man called Kennedy Odemba who gave me his case. If you look at the issue clearly from a legal perspective, it is the Ministry that is at fault. So, what corrective action can the Ministry undertake instead of asking people to go to court over actions where they are at fault?

asked the Minister for Fisheries Development:- (a) What facilities or support the Government provides to officials of Beach Management Units (BMUs) in view of the role they play in supplementing Government services in the provision of security and maintenance of law and order; and (b) If the Government could consider paying allowances to officials of BMUs to enable them discharge their roles effectively.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Assistant Minister for that comprehensive answer. I visited some beaches, including Lwanda Rombo, Kiumba, and Wayando in Rusinga Island, Ndhuru in Lambwe and Sena in Mfangano amongst others. Their concerns arise from part of the answer given by the Assistant Minister that they provided border BMUs to places including Migori, Bondo, Busia, Shimoni and Lamu in the Indian Ocean with 75 horsepower out-boat engines because they are border points. Most of these areas that I am
