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.

ODM party nominated her to Parliament 2008 and she clinched the Mbita seat in the 2013 election.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is a report which we were not bringing, because we took the word of the Executive, but because they are now reneging, we will bring that report.

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is very rare that I agree with this Minister, but today I acknowledge that I agree with him on one point; that the Cabinet is confused.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I want to ask whether the Minister is in order to mislead this House. He has misled us on so many issues until he is almost rubbing his confusion on me. First, he was out of order when he said that the Ministers were out in meetings and that is why they could not be in the House, yet the Speaker has ruled that we must prioritize House business. Secondly, he has misled the House by indicating that the Ministers are out working on the burial arrangements. He mentioned hon. Machage whom I ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. In contributing, I want to thank Mr. Midiwo for bringing the amendments to the Traffic Act. I would like to indicate that many Kenyans have lost their lives. I think traffic accidents could be one of the leading causes of deaths in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had occasion to live out of the country and whenever there was a traffic accident in most of the countries even if it is just one accident the town comes to a standstill because it is a ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Ministers to be appointing from amongst them the ones who are working well and the culprits are remaining seated?

Are they in order?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Minister for laying out the Business of the House for next week, especially prioritizing the constitutional Bills. I know that virtually every week, we have been raising the issue of the need to prioritize the constitutional Bills.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we really do hope that even the Bills that are with other agencies, the Minister could hasten them and be fast tracked to the House. We do not want to rush the way we have rushed in the past and then we get problems with the Constitution. As we move closer towards December, we know that hon. Members will be extremely busy campaigning. Therefore, we will not be able to find hon. Members in the House, especially the two-thirds that the Minister talked about.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also just want to put the Minister on notice that if the Executive does not live up to that expectation, the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), of which I am the Vice Chair will take over and bring those Bills because we owe it as a duty to Kenyans.

Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just wondering whether the reason that they are also moving slowly is because when Ms. Karua was the Deputy Leader of Government Business, she was able to deal with it alone. I think it is maybe because she is the Iron Lady. But when we leave it to the men, then we need about four men to handle it. So, perhaps, we need a woman to take over.
