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

However, I want to ask: Is the hon. Assistant Minister in order to trivialize a very serious issue? The same attitude that I am seeing other hon. Members portraying is what the Assistant Minister is portraying. Only a few weeks ago, we buried a woman as a consequence of domestic violence. Is he in order to tell us that? These are not personal issues; these are criminal acts. If a woman kills her husband or vice-versa, it will be a criminal act as per the Penal Code; it is outlawed in the Constitution! Are you in order to be trivializing ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reminded that there was a case of Lorena Bobbit who âbobbitedâ the husband with very serious consequences. She bit off the private parts of her husband. So, therefore, cases of domestic violence can be perpetrated by women against men and vice-versa. So, could the Assistant Minister inform the House what he is doing to train dignified members of society, including hon. Members, who can be victims of violence? They need to take this issue seriously!

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek your directive over this matter. This House passed a Motion urging the Government of Kenya to refer this matter to the UN Security Council as a threat to international peace and security. Since then, the Government has failed and/or refused to take action. Would I be in order to request the Speaker to stop the Ministry from transacting any further business in this House until it deals with the issue of Migingo?

Mr. Chairman, Sir, actually, I oppose the amendment because it negates the amendment that we have talked about; of the first review.

On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Just for clarity, we need to know what is being amended, because I can see that hon. Kioni is amending Clause 9(2)(c) but you are talking about Clause 9(1).

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I have listened very carefully to Mr. Baiya and I am not convinced. The reason I am not convinced is, first, that the Bill does not actually say that we are making the position of the secretary a constitutional office but for clarity, it is important to provide grounds upon which you can remove a secretary. If the grounds are similar, that is okay because it will avoid confusion and also avoid creating friction within the Commission when people are dismissed at somebodyâs whims. That is why it is important that we have those grounds. In fact, ...
