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.

I would also like to urge the Minister to undertake a very serious civic education, especially on the issue of inheritance of land by women, so that communities begin to start embracing it as something that is positive. I would like to also lend my voice to the others who have said that we must deal with the issue of IDPs, not as an issue of charity, but because it is now a constitutional provision. If you look at the provision that is made for Suba District, it is about Kshs700,000, which is a little less than most of the ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister. I want to encourage the Ministry to work closely with the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources so that when they do Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) they make sense. I was travelling between Homa Bay and Kendu Bay where they are doing new road and I realized that they have done deforestation in most of the hills and yet they are not doing reforestation at the same time. The EIAs should have shown that. Therefore, the Ministry should pay attention to that, otherwise, I congratulate the Minister.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Report. From the outset, I want to thank the Committee that came up with this Report.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would want to start by thanking the Mover of this Motion. I want to say that I am in support of the spirit of this Motion. But nonetheless I find the wordings of the Motion a challenge to me. That is why I had initially wanted to bring an amendment. But knowing that we will have an opportunity, I hope the hon. Member will have an opportunity to bring an amendment to the substantive Act of Parliament. We will have an opportunity to put the issues of concern then. However, I ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 be amended in the definition of âorganized criminal groupâ by deleting the words âexisting for a period of time andâ. I propose that we amend Clause 2 as per the Order Paper, the reason being that when you provide that the organized criminal group be existing for a period of time, it may exclude persons who have been, maybe, performing criminal acts for shorter periods of time.
