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.

As I conclude, I want to give this call again: Please, deal with the Rongai situation. With those few remarks, I beg to support.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to request that we indulge the Assistant Minister since he has been away for quite a while from the Ministry? He is also traumatized because there was a criminal case against him. Now at least he is free. He is my brother; we can indulge him and let him have time.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Further to what my colleagues have said, I am just concerned because this session is going to be very short and it is like when you have been studying the whole year and you are going to sit for your examinations; you must increase and enhance the time that you put to your work. I would like to invite the Speaker to make a ruling that if the Government side does not pull up their socks, then we shall also put Private Members’ work in the afternoon and on Thursdays and ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have just heard the hon. Minister say very clearly that they have not covered integrated IDPs within their programme and that they will be covered under a policy. A policy does not actually talk about compensation or anything like that. Is the Minister, therefore, in order to deliberately discriminate or confess that the Government is deliberately discriminating against a category of IDPs?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You had made a ruling on the Minister for Local Government and he is sitting very pretty in the House. I do not know if you are aware.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I happen to sit in both Committees. Indeed, I sit at the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIOC) as the Vice-Chair and I want to support that proposal because even as Dr. Khalwale has said, the issue of elections is also an issue of constitutional implementation. And because there are grave issues that have been raised about, especially the voting system, we want to cultivate confidence in this body. Therefore, I would like to persuade the House that we have the two Committees sitting together so that we can see how we can, as a ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for always getting all my names correctly.

I want to thank the hon. Member and the Committee for bringing this Bill. I would also want to note, at the outset, that primarily, the amendment seeks to cut the issue of vandalism of telecommunications gadgets. It is a fairly straightforward Bill and it has my full support. What I would want to encourage hon. Members - because we have a very short Session and time, that informally without a formal Motion being brought - we be very brief even in our contributions so that in any sitting on a Wednesday morning, we can deal with five or six ...

Having said, I want to be, therefore, very brief. When there are incidences of vandalism, it affects security in the country and where there are incidences of insecurity, many people lose lives like in Homa Bay on Monday, four watchmen were killed. They lost their lives for no reason because even though it was very close to the police station, there are no public lights. The persons who subsequently suffer are women who are widowed and children who are orphaned and are unable to go school. But also in cases of insecurity, high incidents of persons who are affected are ...

I want to thank Mr. Njuguna for raising the issue that through vandalism, the other items that are affected are road signs. That again affects our children but having said that, I want to encourage the hon. Member to note certain things that the Bill should cover. Sometimes whatever we intend to cure, we might be having the very people we are seeking to protect. If you look at Clause 21(d), it talks about the premises of the applicants who are in the opinion of the licensing officer unsuitable in dealing with scrap metal. You know that the people who ...
