Millie has received the YWCA Democracy Award and the Eve woman of the year for human rights and gender.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I presumed that since I was in a red dress, I automatically caught your eyes. I want to stand and support the petition. I wish to indicate that the policy is long overdue. We, as politicians, tend to give inflammatory statements in public that divide Kenyans. The Bible reminds them, but they forget. So, such a policy document will remind us when we forget because we need one united Kenya even as we go towards elections.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it would be joint Committees because national cohesion and integration falls under the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. So, it could be joint.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that very honest answer. We have just had a petition that was presented by hon. Gitobu Imanyara by 10,000 concerned Kenyans on the issue of peace.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, students in Form I are about 13 or 14 years old. If such students already know that other students are different and they even chase them away from school then that is a worrying trend.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not just through national schools. I went to a non-national school and a national school too. In my time, both the national schools and non-national schools were integrated. So, some of us went to school in the face of Kenya. Currently, most of the schools have one community. If you go to a school you will find that it only has, say, Luos. In others you will find that it only has Kikuyus. When I went to school I did so with Kikuyus, Luyias, and so on. That is why some of us are ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 27(4) of the Constitutions says that the State shall not discriminate directly or indirectly against any person on any ground. You have heard the Assistant Minister saying very dramatically how he will not spare anyone and when there is hate speech, he will deal with the culprit. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission has already forwarded cases of two Members of Parliament on hate speech, which are not being prosecuted. The Assistant Minister is telling us that he shall arrest people. What assurance is there that he will not violate the Constitution? When we, Members ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister has not responded to my question. I asked a very specific question. There are two Members of Parliament whose names have been forwarded for prosecution for hate speech and the Assistant Minister has refused to take action.
