• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, Nyambita is Nyundo . view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Nyundo, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Nyambita is basically a song that says that, "You dance this way, you dance that way then you hit it with a hammer." The musician is talking about a person who is hardworking and uses a hammer. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I want to thank my party and the coalition for being realistic. We are involved in everyday lives of people. We know how to campaign whether on trailers or with musicians. We reach out to artists and meet them at their points of engagement. I do not want say at their points of need because it is God who meets us at our points of need. That is why Raila Odinga is able to dance with artists from Central Kenya who my lawyer friend talked about, but he also dances with view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: in Nyanza. He is the most down to earth politician that I have ever seen. He is one of the people who have used the strategy that they are now calling bottom-up. Even if you were to name me Mwende, I am still Millie Odhiambo. They took up the agenda that Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga has used all his life, which is a pro-poor and pro-people policy. That is why he came up with devolution. What is devolution? Devolution is not top-up. It is down-up. I do not want to say bottom-up because they are misusing the terminology. Hon. Raila ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The object of the Bill is artists. And the speaker on the other side said artists are hustlers. So I am within the framework of the Bill. I want to indicate that devolution touches on artists by bringing money down. We are being realistic by dealing with pro-poor approaches, which Azimio la Umoja is all about. That is what Raila Amolo Odinga believes in. In fact, his middle name is pro-poor. If you translate the name Raila, it means pro-poor. If you are not sure, go and ask the old men in Luoland. Like ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: until 7.00 p.m. Where are your fake numbers that you always bring here to defeat Bills? They are now nowhere to be seen. We are the ones who are here. Where are your bottom- up people? We are the ones working for the poor people in this country by making sure they put food on the table. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga has already started implementing his pro-poor policies through amendments like these. We are also bringing more next week while you are there dancing, complaining about Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, and 'bottom-upping'. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Member needs to know that there is nothing out of order. This is not a class where you carry your hand up. I am saying sensible things which are getting her a bit worried. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: When you make a point and it gets to the bone marrow, it will unsettle people. I can see my Hon. colleague lawyer and friend, Member for Tharaka Nithi. There is no game of Tharaka Nithi here. We just want to encourage you to get ready to hand over gracefully, peacefully and lower your bottom. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. This is one of the Bills that I had hoped to bring in September this year, God giving us life and grace. Be it as it may, I thank the Committee and the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to the House. In another life, I was very passionate about environmental law. I did environmental law for my Master’s Degree at the University of Nairobi but I abandoned it when I was invited to do another Master’s Degree at a New York University. My passion for ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: This Bill is timely because it provides a legal and institutional framework for the efficient and sustainable management of waste in the framework of the green economy and it promotes the realisation of the Zero Waste Goal as we implement Article 42 of the Constitution on the right to a clean and healthy environment for all. As a girl of Suba or Nyasuba… Nowadays we do not say “Nyambita” because “Nyambita” has some interesting connotations. I now say I am Nyasuba. “Nyasuba” or “Nyanama” has the connotation of living by the lake. For those of us who live by the ... view
