ODHIAMBO, MILLIE GRACE AKOTH

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I request that I be allowed to lay the Paper next week on Tuesday. It is actually a notice of Motion. You will do it on Tuesday. I am sorry. It is a notice of Motion. I will do it on Tuesday next week. Thank you.

Hon. Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join the House to also celebrate Florence Abonyo. I have known her for a long time. Just as Hon. Caroli is saying, she was a classmate. I am very young, but she was actually my classmate at the university. She was studying Political Science...

On a point of order. Okay. We will have the last point of order from Hon. Millie. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Member is misleading the House. Hon. Caroli did not talk about Ksh300 million. He said he has supported ODM to the tune of Ksh700 million. So, when...

No, he is from Suba South.

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendment because it is not a substantive one. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Very well. (Question, that the word to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Question, that the word to be inserted in place thereof be inserted,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I wish to support the amendment. Hon. Jared Okello has given the example of President Uhuru when he was very mad at the decision of the Supreme Court in 2017. I am a classmate of Hon. Justice Lenaola, who is the Chairman of our class...

I just want to correct the Chair who termed 70 years as old. They are advanced in age, not old. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Okay, the Chair is corrected. Hon. Rindikiri, what do you want to say about this?

On a point of order. What is out of order, Hon. Millie? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. He needs to give the correct information. He did not say what he just told you. He said there is a Russian who is ‘supplying electricity’. Given the fact that even what that...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I will try to make my points within those few minutes, but I request that you make the minutes five. I am very happy that we are looking at the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Bill. I thank Hon. Donya for bringing this Bill. I was the...

Of course, I want to contribute, Hon. Temporary Speaker, but I can also consult my colleagues, especially on issues of concern to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party. That matter is not in the Order Paper today. We are discussing the TSC (Amendment) Bill. (Laughter) Yes, but we can always...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish first of all to recognise the presence of students in the House, especially the young girls. I want to tell you that if you look down here, you can see very many women in the House, not bad...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I thank the Committee for bringing this Petition. I will try to be very brief. With the advent of technology, we have seen many new positive ways of doing things even though it has also brought in a lot of challenges. As...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second. This is a reasonably straightforward matter because we need to conclude some of the urgent issues before the House. We, therefore, need that extra session.

Hon. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity. We had a very progressive meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning. What I can say is that a lot of the concerns raised by the Members have been fully addressed. I will say more later. The issues...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Osoro for that presentation. I have raised an issue as a matter of concern, but it has not been addressed by Parliament over the years. People play different sports. My sport is dancing. We have not been able to incorporate dancing in the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I am a Member of the Committee. I have run out of class to come and speak on this issue. The first time I heard of Archer’s Post was in 1997, when my employer at the time, the International Federation...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Order, Hon. Members. Hon. Millie is on a point of order. You do not shout point of order from behind the Chair. What is your point of order? My apologies, Hon. Temporary(Applause)

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I join the other Members in congratulating all those who have been elected, especially Hon. Boyd Were, because of the circumstances under which the father died. Some people may have been involved in his killing, hoping that they would inherit the...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Millie Odhiambo? One minute. Hon. Speaker, I do not think it is in order for Hon. Koimburi to cast aspersions on new Members when there is no case challenging their wins. More fundamentally, he is asking...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the President for the State of the Nation Address that spoke to many issues. It was a good coincidence that it fell on 20th November, which is also the International Day of the Child. I am...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You should have given me an opportunity to also acknowledge him because I also battled crocodiles as a fisherwoman. Otherwise, I wish to say… It is not documented, but we will give you the benefit of doubt. (Laughter) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In this life, you...

Hon. Speaker, let me respond to Hon. Junet Mohamed. I am usually very difficult to deal with because I am a bad girl. More recently, we have been dealing with ODM and UDA. We are in a broad-based arrangement, and this is the most difficult thing to deal with in...

Thank you Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Kaluma for bringing that Motion. I wish to oppose it for the following reasons. The Bill was given priority under the rules of this House because it was passed in the last Parliament. Hon. Speaker, you realise that we are only about one...

Hon. Ichung’wah has told me there are many other things I have that he does not. So, I withdraw that, Hon. Speaker. (Laughter) Thank you. Having withdrawn that, I urge the House that legislation has to end. We cannot do it forever. We need to conclude the debate on this...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Millie. There is another point of order. Hon. Speaker, Hon. Kaluma has mentioned this Bill three times as not being on the Order Paper. My apologies for having to indulge. I am a Member of the House Business Committee. The issue...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 61 of 2022) be now read a Third Time. I request Hon. Irene Mayaka to second.

Can I get a minute?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to welcome them to the House. I was a troop leader of the Brownies and I still remember my promise: I promise on my honour to do my duty to God and my country, to serve all people at all times...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Yes, Hon. Millie. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When you gave Hon. Bartoo an opportunity to welcome visitors to the House, she failed to welcome the Members from Nigeria who are on a benchmarking mission. We welcome them to Kenya. I hope you do...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, yes, I can move the amendment, in good faith, even though I do not agree with it. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : You cannot move an amendment that you do not agree with. You have already gone on record to say that you do...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I just need clarification from Hon. Nyikal. From what I have, unless I have the wrong document, what he is proposing is to replace ‘medical doctor’ with ‘an assisted reproductive technology expert.’ If I have an older version, can I have an updated version, please? The Temporary...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I get the gist and I am okay with the proposed amendment. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Thank you. (Question, that the words to be left out be left out, put and agreed to) (Question, that the words to be inserted in...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Whereas I have no problem with the substantive part, I would wish to record that I have a problem with Clause 3 that says: “Where the surrogate mother or intended parents has no genetic connection with the child, the surrogate mother shall, subject to a...

On a point of information. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Hon. Millie, who would you like to inform? I want to inform the Member on the Floor. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : It depends on whether he would like to be informed. Member of...

He has already taken the Floor. Can I inform him since he has agreed? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Yes, you may proceed to inform the Member for Kilgoris. I thank the Hon. Member. I know he means well because he wants to make sure the process...

On a point of order. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : What is out of order, Hon. Millie? Thank you. Events have overtaken me. Even for purposes of the next things, I just want to say that I had actually indicated that I agree. Hon. Pukose is saying...

Thank you. I want to comment. Before I do so, I want to tell Hon. CNN that we had different engagements. Some of them were postponed because of Hon. Kaluma. We engaged at length on this issue. He said he would be in Homa Bay today, and he would not...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, did we look at the title? We did earlier? The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : It was already done last time. Okay. Thank you. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move that the House reports its consideration of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill, (National Assembly...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I also request Hon. Irene to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the Whole House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to support the Bill and thank Hon. Mutunga for bringing it. With the high unemployment rate, agriculture is a very serious option that we need to consider as a country. I know that it is a mainstay of the country, but we do...

Hon. Temporary Chairlady, yes, I can move the amendment, in good faith, even though I do not agree with it. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : You cannot move an amendment that you do not agree with. You have already gone on record to say that you do...
