Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had already raised the issue because I know Hon. Clive wants to show that he has come back from Tashkent in Uzbekistan. I was with him. I know he got some really nice outfits. He said that he...

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

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you. The Hon. Member is very senior, and he knows that when I rise on a point of order, he must sit down. Unless I misunderstood him, he just said that the Minority Whip stated we should approve the nominee out of sympathy,...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Of course, I support the appointment of Hon. Caroline to this position.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had pressed the button earlier, but I thought you wanted to let the Cabinet Secretary speak a little more. He has referred to the Reproductive Health Bill from the Ministry. I just want him to clarify because I have...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Hon. Speaker, nothing is out of order. As the Cabinet Secretary comes in, I request that I be given one minute to extend my condolences concerning the death of Hon. Ken Nyagudi. I did not serve with him like you did in the 9th...

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, the incident that happened to the fisherman in Naivasha was very unfortunate.

Hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona (Suba North, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute.
