William Kamket, Millie Odhiambo Clash in Parliament over Point of Order:

Drama ensued in the National Assembly on Thursday, February 3, as Tiaty MP William Kamket and his Suba North counterpart Millie Odhiambo clashed over a point of order. 

Kamket had risen to move a motion that the House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Public Finance Management (Biashara Kenya Fund) Regulations, 2021 and Other Related Regulations. 

But Millie interjected, claiming that audio-visual systems were not working, so she needed the people in charge to intervene. 

“It should not go without saying that I am a very senior and honourable member; I did not come to this House to make noise; I went to the House to contribute. But, unfortunately, the systems are not working, and I have already given the people in charge to assist,” Millie said.

But Kamket told her off, saying that she did not have a point of order to interject him.

"Millie has no point of order. She is just admiring me. But I want to tell her I am not available," Kamket said. 

But Millie said that at no point had she admired Kamket, insisting that she is a married woman who has no time for the Tiaty lawmaker.

"Speaker, thank you for the opportunity, but now Kamket has even raised another point of order by implying that I am admiring him. I don't think he is taking after Duale in the list of members who want to claim that I admire them. Kamket doesn’t understand that I went from Kenya to the south. I have an import. So, why should I be admiring him yet I have an import?" she posed.

Millie, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker, observed that members have different challenges, and those committed to specific issues need to stay in the House.

"But my original point of order was actually to the leader of the majority that in these difficult times, you realise that members have different challenges and the members who are committed specific issues stay in the House," she said. 

She also indicated that members have severe engagements and interactions because of the multiple tasks.
