Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has once again shown why she is considered one of Kenya’s most outspoken and unapologetic politicians. Speaking at the What Women Want Summit at Trademark Hotel on Friday, March 21, the fiery legislator made a cheeky admission that left the audience bursting into laughter.
While addressing the gathering, which brought together powerful women from various industries, Millie did not shy away from mixing empowerment with humour. With her trademark candor, she revealed that she still gets distracted by certain kinds of men.
“What do women want? We want tall, dark, and handsome men,” she declared to loud cheers. “Even now, I still turn my head to look back whenever I see one.”
Her bold confession quickly became the highlight of the evening, sparking chatter both inside and outside the event. Social media users later applauded her for being refreshingly honest and relatable in a world where leaders often shy away from personal admissions.
But beyond the laughs, Millie used the platform to reflect on her career journey. From her early days working at the Attorney General’s Office to her advocacy work at FIDA, she explained how her passion for justice pushed her into politics. According to her, law alone had limits, and joining Parliament gave her the chance to shape change from within.
The summit, hosted by media personality Pinky Ghelani, also featured speakers like Adelle Onyango, Patricia Ithau, and Teresa Njoroge. It celebrated women’s empowerment, resilience, and leadership, with Millie’s candid remarks adding a lighthearted twist to the serious conversations.
True to her reputation, Millie Odhiambo proved once more that she is not afraid to mix humour with honesty — reminding women that empowerment also means embracing who you truly are.
