Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I came running from where I was because I was listening to the Proceedings online. And because we are talking about Alliance, Ol Kalou and another girls’ school from Ukambani, yet the only people speaking are men, I also want to ask: is it in order...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It would be a tragedy to just listen to Arsenal people speak here, yet we have Man U in the House.

In my mother tongue, there is a saying that dhiang’ otho kor gi odhera. When a cow dies in the home of a thin person, we will never stop hearing the last of it. So, a cow has died in the home of a thin person. They have not seen...

Declare your interest.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Ndindi Nyoro has indicated that he did not use the word “ignorant”. I think you can prove that from the Hansard. Even when you disagree with other Members, you must disagree respectfully. There is a lot that we can say if you are to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was not in yesterday when this arose. Perhaps for my information as a Whip, I just wanted to know how long the suspension is, or rather, the duration. Also, sometimes, as women, we are invisible, but I sit here as the Whip of the Minority...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are speaking because it is a major issue in our constituencies. In Suba North, we face hippo and crocodile attacks. A young man who had just completed Form Four, after being sponsored by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) , went fishing with his...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Together with Hon. Martin, we are seeking your indulgence to eulogise the father of Hon. (Dr) Nyikal, who passed on two days ago. Hon. Martin Owino had seen me about it but throughout the Proceedings he has shown no indication of wanting to say anything about...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity on my behalf and that of the people of Suba North, to send condolences to the family of Nyikal, on the loss of their father. It was only last week when I was talking to Dr Nyikal about their father. When he...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, my apologies for consulting so loudly. It is just that the Hon. Member was not aware that we were consulting on very important issues related to what he was saying. The marginalisation of the marginalised arises out...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Millie? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Is the Member in order to suggest that Hon. Jalas, Hon. Elisha, Hon. Fabian, Hon. Anthony and Hon. Oundo are women? He has said that the majority of those Members...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I thank Hon. Antony Oluoch for bringing this Bill, which is an amendment to the Basic Education Act. I support it albeit with reservations. Looking at the proposed amendments, they are the challenges that I have had to face as...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I join other Members who have spoken before me in supporting the award of a Charter for the establishment of the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. From what we have heard from Members, technology is both...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for acknowledging my expertise in this area as a representative of probably the biggest chunk of Lake Victoria, which is the third largest freshwater lake in the world and the largest in Africa. I was actually wondering when this Bill was brought to Parliament, because...

Yes. I can actually talk about exclusive economic zones. We met with a group of experts and investors from out of the country who were introduced to Homa Bay County. They wanted to introduce concepts for fishing that would ensure our fishermen actually get cheap boats and fishing gear. So,...

Ahsante sana, Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Nimesimama kwa heshima kusupport hii Motion. Kwa vile tunaongea kuhusu East Africa, ni vyema tuwe na benchmarking kule Tanzania ili tujifunze Kiswahili. Watu wengi hupenda kuenda benchmarking mbali. Ikiwa tunataka uhusiano mzuri kati ya Kenya, Uganda na Tanzania, tunahitaji kufanya benchmarking Tanzania, kwa sababu...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Before the seconding? Yes, Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not know whether the Mover forgot that there is a very peculiar consultation also going on between Hon. Ichung’wah and Hon. Teresia. With what is going on politically, I do not...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Millie Odhiambo, what is out of order? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am not too sure whether the Honourable Member is my junior or my senior in law. I cannot remember, so I will let it pass. But I just...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, maybe you are not understanding. Maybe they are raising their hands up to indicate that they are the Minority Whips.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am fairly reluctant to support this Bill because I do not feel sufficiently convinced by its contents and the Committee report. Whenever one seeks to amend an existing law, there must be a mischief that one is trying to...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, one needs a diploma in leadership. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership and Governance. We need such training because we have a dearth of good leadership in this country. Perhaps we need to be re-trained on it. This speaks to the issue of...

Thank you. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Kenya Delegation to the 151st Assembly of the Inter-

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Many of us are eager to speak because it is rare to see a 22-year-old young woman come to Parliament and be recognised for doing a noble task. I have seen many naysayers. They wonder why she has to hug trees. You may miss the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. On behalf of myself, my family and the people of Suba North Constituency, I also give my condolences on the demise of Hon. Johanna Ng’eno and the people he was with on that flight. I know many people have struggled to...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join hands with Hon. Fatuma and Hon. Dawood as well as other Members in expressing outrage and concern when people use race, ethnicity, religion or gender to exclude or demean others. It is against the law of Kenya and especially when it is...

I am glad that the Leader of the Minority Party has acknowledged that perhaps I should have been the Leader of the Minority Party and he the Whip. The Whip wields the power of the pen and I do not like the power of the pen. I do not seek...
