"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the moment to say a few words about this Bill. First, I would like to state that it is a momentous moment for this House to actually join hands with Hon. Millie Odhiambo in putting this issue into legislation. We need to remember that you can have the ideas that you do not concretise into legislation. That is why we need to thank her for putting the effort, time, passion and commitment to ensure that we have this law in our statutes. On the issue of barrenness, for those of us who are familiar with very many characters and figures in the Bible, we will remember the woman called Sarah. There is Rebecca. There is Rachel. In about two occasions they combine the husband and the wife—like when they have Zechariah and Elisabeth in the birth of John the Baptist. Both of them were old for the birth of John the Baptist and the miracle that happened after the prayers in the temple. We have Elkanah and Peninnah about the birth of Samuel. If you read the whole of 1Samuel 1, you will find the description of the agony that Hannah went through, praying to an extent of somebody in the temple describing her as drunk.
