Bad girl Millie Odhiambo recalls ‘snatching’ a gun from policeman

Mbita Mp Millie Odhiambo’s declaration that she is a bad girl a few weeks ago continues to see her hailed as a Kenyan heroine by women.

She is called a drama queen by her peers in the National Assembly. 

The legislator spoke to Betty Kyallo, Friday July 12 where she praised Gen Z for their resilience while protesting.

She recalled in her chat with Betty how as a university student she also engaged in protests outside parliament to demonstrate the shooting of two students 

She confessed how she grabbed a gun from a police officer, in the early 90’s.

She hit the newspaper headlines.

“hey what’s the matter with you. I went and grabbed the gun. I had never held a gun in my life. And then Wafule Buke is the one who came and grabbed that gun from me and returned it back to the policeman. I have no clue what I was gonna do with the gun”

Laughing about it, Millie told TV 47 that ODM leader Raila Odinga scolded her for her actions, warning her of the danger

“Hon Raila didn’t know me then, he told me young girl never do such a thing. For me that time my only concern was that we are here demonstrating, against the killings of students, and then when we went outside Parliament, then the policeman was again threatening to shoot. “

“So I feel Gen Z’s when in the face of impunity, in the face of poor governance, there is something within you that just rebels”

She has been home sick, fearing for the safety of young people protesting over the past few weeks

When Occupy Parliament happened June 25, Millie tried to warn her colleagues to vacate the building, but they dismissed her

“I get in and I warn my colleagues and they tell me ah you with your drama, get out of here. I told them no they are here. they were like no, drama queen, and lo and behold”
