During Senate Business Committee when we discussed today’s business and it was mentioned that it was International Women’s day, I knew for sure Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve will definitely have a statement. She can never miss it. Sen. Shiyonga, of course, she beat you to it because that is Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. However, I am very disappointed. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve has listed a long list of great women but she forgot to mention 1971 Commonwealth 200 m Champion, Emily Kubasu, my mother. She made this country proud for many years.

That why I have been a champion and earlier on Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, the “honorary woman”, was asking why Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve said that I am close to women. I am a champion from the last Parliament to this Parliament of what we call “He for She Movement”. This is a movement where the men in this Parliament both in the National Assemnby and the Senate have decided against many of the women in this House who try to make gender issues women issues.
