• Emotional Showdown Between MPs Kaluma and Millie - December 6, 2024

Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma and Suba North counterpart Millie Adhiambo were embroiled in a bitter name-calling showdown in Parliamentary session held yesterday Thursday.

In a video clip shared on Kenyawide.com desk, a visibly agitated Millie can be heard telling off Kaluma to respect her faith with regards to a Bill on women who have been struggling to have a child.

The Bill drafted by Hon Millie Adhiambo requires the State to protect women who have no kids to also have a say on family or marital wealth as well as get the required Constitutional protection.

“Don’t punish men and women stigimatised from this condition. It takes a lot for me as a woman who is at 50 to tell you am childless. I think it’s wrong for this House to subject me to this kind of harassment and this is not right. I have been here in this House and I can easily tell when something is not going right” she lamented.

MP Adhiambo went ahead to insist that her Bill must be tabled as it is without interference so that it can go on record that she once brought a Bill and was rejected if it must be.

“Bring my Bill and reject it from here; but let it go on record that the Bill was here. Don’t interfere with my Bill and don’t force me with things which are not in my faith. Don’t do surrogacy to me because I am an ardent Seventh Day Adventist”.

But in an equal rejoinder, MP Kaluma told her that no one had stopped her from getting a child at her age.

“I don’t fall easily into emotional blackmail and trapes so don’t worry Hon. Milly. I hope you are not directing your messages at me. But nobody stops you from getting children by now. I can’t be blackmailed emotionally,” he responded.

At that juncture, the presiding speaker quickly interjected the exchange between the two and asked MP Kaluma to avoid direct verbal exchange and, instead, focus on his point of order.
