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.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for giving me that valuable information. The issue I was talking to in relation to limitations can be found in Clauses 33, 34, 35, and 36. Because of lack of time I will not go into them. However, you will see that one of the wide powers that we have given this body is to search your home and to do a whole host of things – all of them on the broad terminology of “in the public interest and freedom of expression.” This one reminds me of the days ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not have any warning. That should apply to the next speaker.

Then you let me know, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In concluding, with regard to protection of classified information and records, we are putting an onerous task on the public. Clause 77(3) refers to, for example, cases where a person innocently comes across classified information which is detrimental or would have effect to national security, that person shall immediately destroy such information. Finally, I will give some of my other comments to the various Committees and urge hon. Members to come always and be willing to stay in the House until midnight because most of us usually do. Others want to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the information that the Minister has indicated, she is trying to dispute the evaluation of the universities that was done. But if you see the variation, they are not really anything much to write home about. You will find that the only variation is that somebody was put as number 70, but is now number 80. Either way, you are in the 70/80 bracket. It is not like you are ranked number 1 and then you are number 80. Therefore, that shows that we have a crisis in our universities. Could the Minister, please, clarify that ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support and congratulate the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources for this Report. In supporting, I want to say that when I came to this House as a Nominated Member of Parliament, I developed a strategic plan, and one of the core issues in my strategic plan was mainstreaming what I call cross cutting issues which are issues of human rights, minorities marginalized by either by gender or religion, issues of youth representation, issues of people with disability and the environment.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister in order to suggest that he is not aware of the impending strike? His awareness is not predicated on a letter directed to him. His awareness can be through the media. Everybody in Kenya is aware that teachers have a problem with the issue of their salaries and so the Assistant Minister should be telling us what, as a Ministry, they are doing instead of saying he is not aware. Is he in order to mislead the House?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Minister has indicated that the penalties they levied amounted to Kshs500,000. The other day, I gave an example where I was ripped of Kshs1,000. I loaded from Safaricom and, immediately, the Kshs1,000 was gone. If that is done to every Kenyan, it is way above Kshs500,000. Are

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Minister in order to claim that the champions of integrity are not in the House? I do not know what he would describe me as. I am a champion of integrity. I do not know if they were being mischievous by putting this Bill as number three down the line and then they escape as the Government side, so that my other champions of integrity are not here. We had been dealing with the security Bills, for which we have very aptly prepared. I want to tell the ...
