    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Committee for that very good amendment. For those who are not usually here, when some Members bring Bills and people amend they get offended. However, the essence of this stage is to strengthen the Bill. I am the proposer and I am very happy with the amendments that have been brought by the Committee. Like this one, it enhances cost effectiveness, ensures accessibility and removes the penalization of motherhood. People make it look like when you want to be a mother, it should be a punitive thing. However, we should make motherhood easy even for women who do not have children easily. So, we are giving the responsibility to the county governments and the national Government to make it cost effective. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have spoken to women who have done assisted reproduction six times at a cost of Kshs1 million per process. That is Kshs6 million. While others are building houses, you are trying to have a child at Kshs6 million. It should not be punitive having a child. Therefore, I thank the Committee."
