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, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Because this is the month of Ramadhan, this is the second time I have been referred to by a different name. The other day I was called Hon. Amina. However, my point of order is that, is the hon. Member in order to be very keen on women’s handbags? What is his preoccupation with women’s bags?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will oblige to be hon. Mr. Abdikadir for today. In any case, he is my Chair in the CIOC. I will oblige for this morning until the system catches up. I urge that we take more stringent action because the duty of this House is to protect consumers. I raised this issue when we were discussing the Consumer Protection Bill last week and, indeed, I had given Safaricom as an example. A day after that, I loaded my Safaricom network with Kshs1,000 for internet and within a minute, it was all gone. When ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity and before I second, I want to take this opportunity to send a message of condolences to the families of the bereaved women who died in the Tanzania tragedy. I pray that God may give them peace at this difficult time. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to congratulate hon. Mungatana for bringing this Bill before the House and for seeking to include the coconut industry within our economy. The only thing I regret is that even as we are discussing this critical Bill, the Government side does not ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was an excellent student of literature and I have just used one of the tools of literature. If the hon. Member was listening keenly he should have heard that I have used several tools and not just one; one of them is called sarcasm. Perhaps he picked it up; I do not need to state at one point that at this point I am being sarcastic. We are not lazy, but I am saying even if somebody thinks we are lazy, then please invest in our laziness and let us see whether our laziness can ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am Grace. I am gracious and Grace. I just wanted to inform you so that it could be corrected, that the new technology sometimes does not recognize us. That is why sometimes it sees Mr. Midiwo as delegate number three. Indeed, three times this morning, I was Mr. Abdikadir Mohamed, and Ms. Shakila Abdalla was Mr. Duale. The other challenge is that Parliament has been very exciting; now those of us who are usually very active are feeling that we have been re- born. We are very calm and sober. The point is, can ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the Motion. In opposing, I want to indicate that we have raised concern on the Floor of this House before that the Executive is taking unduly long with the Bills that have a constitutional deadline. They tend to bring these Bills, give us a very short time and then there is a lot of public outcry on them. When there is a mistake or when we pass things which do not meet the constitutional threshold, it becomes a problem of the entire Parliament. In opposing, I would like to indicate, as ...
