    "content": "I would like to come to what I found very profound and powerful from the Chair as he highlighted a lot of important milestones or achievements or what the Committee has raised in this Finance Bill. He mentioned public participation and he indicated that the public participation and the stakeholder input was given a weighty and extremely important consideration. He indicated that the memoranda came in through the newspaper. I once again feel that this is good but I would like to encourage the National Assembly and the Committee that when we are considering public participation and a matter that we say we have this time sought to simplify, it will be useful to remember that there are modes of communication that will include, to a large extent, the category that I am thinking of this afternoon – the women. As I conclude, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are in the era and time of COVID-19 impact and the country is outraged that we have teenage pregnancies. They look at the figures and see that Nairobi has 11,734 and Kakamega 6,000. Because I see the light is red, I would just like to emphasize that it is not an accident that when people are confined, the girls’ dilemma is different and painful, and requires a special lense as we look at it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support."
