    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a very proud woman and for avoidance of doubt, I am never afraid of being called a slay queen. On behalf of the many Kenyan women here who are married as first, second or third wives and some who do not even know who the fathers of their children are or the public would try to interpret who fathered their children… Therefore, allow me to congratulate Hon. Kaluma because he has been a champion for women, girls and children in the Republic of Kenya. Recently when we had the issue of the two-thirds gender rule in this Parliament, Hon. Kaluma never shied away from advocating for women rights in this country. Therefore, I stand tall to speak for a majority of our women, particularly from where I come from in the Mt. Kenya Region who are not lucky to find spouses, but have a right to give birth and with whoever they want because children are a gift from God. I thank our women because we strongly stand tall even when we are called single mothers and we bring up our children most of who do better than those who enjoy both parents. Therefore, let nobody stand on the Floor of this House to attempt to label women slay queens and talk of women who give birth to children and they want to assume that we gave birth through osmosis. It is men who give us children and it is men who are the fathers of our children. Therefore, I have consulted with Hon. Kaluma seeking clarification on a number of issues and he is a very friendly legislator. He is working with our women. We want at the Committee of the whole House to introduce amendments in this Bill. Number one amendment as was stated by Hon. Millie Odhiambo is that we want under Clause 3 to split item 29 (i)(a) for the purpose of this part “dependant”, (a) to read thus: “On issues of the spouse, the children of the descendant whether they are maintained"
