    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. At the onset, I would want to say that I am not ashamed of my legs and in relation to what the hon. Member for Mumias has actually said. I have a right under the Constitution to wear even a mini skirt if I want. However, what Ms. Karua has raised is that when you look at it from a sexist perspective; when we are presenting issues in this House, what I bring into the House is not my legs, but my head and my brains. Therefore, this is lowering the dignity of the House. When Ms. Karua and I were attending the PSC retreat in Naivasha, we had very valid contributions, but what was covered in the newspapers was the same issue. The public was asked to check and give their views on what we could be discussing. One of the views was that we could have been discussing the constitutionally acceptable length of a skirt. The constitutionally acceptable length of a skirt is any that is acceptable to me as a person because I have those rights. But when I am discussing as a Member, I want you to get my view on devolution. Otherwise, it is sexist, discriminatory and is against Section 82 of the Constitution."
