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.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs for moving the Bill. The Minister was, indeed, a Member of our Committee. It is not only him who was a student of Nancy Baraza because I think she employed me when I joined FIDA on the International Women’s Day. I was given a flower and one of my friends told me that I will get that job because I was interviewed on International Women’s Day. I am a very

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had actually risen to inform the House that most of Members of the Committee on Equal Opportunity, including the Chair and Vice-Chair, were away last week. But the Committee is willing to look at this matter.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister please clarify if the Ministry has a policy of non-discrimination of any class of IDPs. This is especially because hon. Keter has mentioned the issue of forest evictees as opposed to post election violence victims but there are also issues of discrimination of post election violence victims because I have heard the Assistant Minister speaking of Alko IDPs and even there are many post election violence IDPs that have not been given the same treatment as other IDPs. So, is there any policy of non-discrimination and, if so, what does it provide?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think you have heard the hon. Member say that some women have the tendency of using this section to victimize men. As we very well know, sexual offence is not an issue of women alone; there are men who are violated. Unless the hon. Member can give us statistics that show that women use certain sections of the law to victimize men, I, as a woman who sits in this House, is feeling threatened because I do not know if this hon. Member will start to use those sections against ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am actually saddened by the answer that the Assistant Minister has given. I have worked for years, including doing research on issues of trafficking in persons in the same countries that he is speaking about. His answer itself shows elements of human trafficking. All the things that he has said are ingredients of human trafficking. You will find that one is hurt but she says that she cannot leave because one of the things you would find is that her passport is not within her control. Her family is probably being threatened. They will say ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also just want to thank the office of the Speaker and that of the Clerk of the National Assembly for a very good election. I also want to thank the Members for very fair elections, even though I know the candidates were fronted by different parties. However, when it came to voting, we looked at Kenya as a whole; indeed, those who have been elected largely reflect the face of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to say that I am very happy that we have considered very able women like Mumbi Ng’aru, Sarah Bonaya, ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Originally, I was rising to find out what relevant Committee this Bill should be committed to because in the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, we will only deal with certain aspects of it and some of them do not concern us. However, having listened to hon. Mbadi, I would like to ask; if, indeed, a Member raises an issue of constitutionality over certain sections or parts of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill, then what hon. Orengo has persuaded us to do is to wait so that when we are voting, we vote either for ...
