    "content": "The other issue that will be big for her will be the Political Parties Primary Bill. I know there is a draft that the office had brought. This is one of the laws that will be very instrumental in levelling the plain field especially from a gender perspective because a lot of women fall from the side not because they are not strong, but because political parties’ primaries are skewed in favour of men. Because of that, we are hoping that the Political Parties Primaries Bill will be one of the things that will be on the agenda so that we can have a better way. I know and I sympathise with my sister, Hon. Dennitah Ghati, especially on the issue of minority and of youth. As a supporter of the youths and persons with disability, I am happy that Hon. Dennitah and Hon. Sankok have taken this issue seriously. Some of us sit and focus on gender and human rights issues. Where you have a clear legal stipulation, even in the face of youth and gender, we will be going against the rule of law to go against very clear legal provisions. I would encourage that, for this young man, another position is found to support him because his expectations have been raised. I have been very consistent when Bills come to this Parliament in reducing the age for the youth so that you can have younger people getting more jobs because the young generation are much faster and more informed than us and are able to take on tasks that some of us had to wait 15/20 years to take. But I would also want to indicate that I have noted and I would want to encourage my sister to note that even though she keeps mentioning Luos and Kurias in Migori County, at least, today, I have heard her mentioning the Somalis. I also want to remind her there are Subas in Migori and Maragoli. Because of that, wherever she mentions them, she should remember that there are Subas that are minority in Migori and should be considered. Finally, on a light note, I want to say that in protest, today I am wearing Manchester United uniform to protest against a bad uniform that is giving us poor results and I am calling on the responsible people to please change the uniform for Manchester United, so that we can score."
