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.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the hon. Member, please, substantiate whether Mr. Ruteere who has brought this Motion has a political agenda or he withdraws because he is imputing improper motive?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support and just want to make very brief comments. One is that I agree with the approach of Mr. Mungatana. I have been consistent about it but in this country we have very short memories. So even though it is provided in the Constitution on issues of ethnic, regional and gender balance, we must state it specifically. I want to say I am happy that we have a Commission that will be looking into issues of housing, insurance, safety, equipment and conditions of service of our police. We know that many times ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief because the Chairman has been very elaborate. First of all, I would like to thank Members of Parliament for the support they gave me during the loss of my mother and my grandmother. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that the members who have been appointed are outstanding. I will only speak on two of them, whom I personally know very well, because the Chairman has spoken very well about the others. I have worked for very many years with Mr. Munyithya. He is an excellent ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need a clarification. I sat in the Bill of Rights Committee in Bomas of Kenya. So, I know where Article 32(2) came from, especially the part that gives a right, including the observance of a day of worship. This was actually brought by the Seventh Day Adventist. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to declare my interest because my mother worships at Milimani SDA in Mbita. My husband worships at Ongogo SDA Church in Lambwe in Mbita Constituency.

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has referred us to an Act of Parliament, but the Constitution is very clear! I know he is also a member of the SDA Church and he worships at Maxwell Church. This is not an option! It is clear that SDA adherents must be allowed to worship without conditions. He cannot use it on a school by school basis. It is a policy that if his officers do not know about, he must go and inform them that with immediate effect that SDA adherents must worship from 6.00 p.m., on Friday to 6.00 ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the Minister and his order of prioritization. He has not allocated time to any constitutional Bills. If you look at the date when the first year will expire - we have a schedule of Bills that must be passed within the first year - the remaining working days are about ten. I do not think we are aware that the working days are about ten; after which; it will be over and we will be forced to undertake constitutional amendments. As the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), ...

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand corrected. We want constitutional implementation Bills and they are, indeed, very many. I actually wanted to give the schedule but I will be giving it at an appropriate time. They are about 18.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead this House? The three police bills have already received Cabinet approval, to the best of our knowledge. Why the Bills are not being published we have no clue. Last week, we were told the Bill on the Commission on Revenue Allocation was supposed to be published. Nobody seems to know where that Bill.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Member in order, because we, as a Committee of Parliament, want to tell the Executive we are taking over this process because we do not want to be blamed for its own laxity and inefficiency.
