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.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. However, for clarification, I am Mrs. Mabona. When you say "Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona", you make me my father's wife!

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish not only to support but also laud Members for the noble amendments that have been made to the Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to abide by your plea, I will shorten my contribution. I wanted to say a lot especially because I was only able to attend the seminar for one day. I am glad and happy to note that some of the suggestions that I had made for amendments are in the Paper. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to say that I am ...

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I can see that you are not the only one struggling with the name "Mabona". So, we will just do with Ms. Odhiambo. Before, I move my amendment, could I urge the Government side to be awake because we might be amending what they do not want, considering what has just happened before. I beg to move:- THAT, the Standing Orders be amended by inserting the following New Clause after the definition of the word "Clerk" and before the definition of "Leader of Government Business." The Clause that I seek to insert is:- Leader in Parliament of ...

No, Mr. Chairman. I am not withdrawing it. What I have withdrawn is my original amendment, which was a deletion of B and C. Instead what I am suggesting to amend---

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Bill which is not only timely, but necessary. Actually, I am personally shocked because even Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) operate in this manner and yet they are the smallest "disorganized" units. It is actually shocking that we have a whole Parliament which is unable to exercise oversight roles, which is one of its most important functions. I would like to add my voice in noting that this Bill will ensure that we curb grand corruption and do away with Anglo Leasing and Goldenberg type ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 2 of the Bill be amended - (a) in the definition of "Commission" by deleting the words "Ethnic and Race Relations Commission" and substituting therefor the words "Cohesion and Integration"; (b) by inserting the following new definitions in their proper alphabetical sequence- "discrimination" means discrimination as defined under sections 3 and 4 of this Act; "employment" means a situation where an employee does his work wholly or partly in Kenya (for a fee or not), for the employer; or where the employee does work for the employer outside Kenya ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas I agree with the Minister, if you actually look at the definition, the word "ethnic" is taken to construe racial and other forms of discrimination; therefore, even though the specificity that is given by the Minister is important, it is actually superfluous.
