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 support this Motion. We know that the cost of living is very high and many Kenyans are suffering. We are going to Christmas and, at least, if the cost of sugar is reduced, most Kenyans will have something to put on their table. However, I am encouraging us to go beyond sugar and consider other basic necessities like unga and cooking fat. With those few remarks, I support the Motion.

asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) when he will make regulations under Section 53 of the Employment Act on activities that are deemed harmful to the health, safety and morals of a child between 13-16 years of age; and, (b) what is considered “light work” that a child can undertake under the law.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the matter could be listed for next week--- That is because when this matter came up last time, we got the same reply. The Attorney-General was to gazette the already drafted regulations. Currently, children are working without clear guidelines as to what is light work that children should perform. Many children are out of school because we do not have those regulations. So, could he give an indication on whether he can give us a response within a week’s time?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would also request that, as you give direction to the Attorney-General, whether he could indicate why some cases were withdrawn. Most of the cases relate to defilement and it means there were sexual abuses against children. Most of them were withdrawn without giving any reasons. So, could he, even in giving that response, indicate why most cases of rape against children were withdrawn?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have heard the Member mentioning about three Members of Parliament without a substantive Motion. Is he in order? Two, I have also heard him suggesting that Newpoint, which is a corporation, was involved in the demolitions without proving how it was involved in the demolition, thereby trying to impute improper motive on the hon. the Prime Minister of Kenya. Could the Member, please, clarify or withdraw if he does not have a substantive Motion to discuss another Member?
