Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order. The Deputy Speaker Okay. We will have the last point of order from Hon. Millie. Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Member is misleading the House. Hon. Caroli did not talk about Ksh300...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) No, he is from Suba South.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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?

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. David Ochieng’) What is out of order, Hon. Millie? Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. He needs to give the correct information. He did not say what he just told...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) That matter is not in the Order Paper today. We...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba South, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I can respond to that question. When a matter was brought up to the Federation of Women Lawyers (Kenya Chapter) in 1997, there was limited access to DNA. However, it is something that we need to consider right now. The culprits...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) 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? Hon. Millie...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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,...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker What is your point of order, Hon. Millie Odhiambo? One minute. Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I do not think it is in order for Hon. Koimburi to cast aspersions on new...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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… Hon. Speaker It is not documented, but we will give you the benefit of doubt. (Laughter)...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Hon. Ichung’wah has told me there are many other things I have that he does not. So, I withdraw that, Hon. Speaker. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker Thank you. Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Having withdrawn that, I urge the House that legislation has to...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker Yes, Hon. Millie. There is another point of order. Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Hon.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Can I get a minute?

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker Yes, Hon. Millie. Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) 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...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady.
