"content": "considerate, you are expected to report back to work the following day even though you have not recovered. Mentally and physically you are not ready to go back to work because of all the pain you went through. Depending on how far one was into pregnancy, mostly mothers who experience still births go through normal labor which has a lot of impact on your body, yet that is not being recognized. I agree with Sen. Cherargei that those of us who will have the opportunity to come back to this House, there is need to have an amendment to the law to cater for mothers who undergo such loss depending on the level of pregnancy and frequency there has to be certain provisions whereby time is given for rest. Besides, when somebody goes such trauma staying in the office is not beneficial to anybody. That person will just look like a zombie and will not concentrate anyway because of both the physiological and psychological trauma that they have gone through. They will still not do the work anyway. We might as well give people some time to rest and ensure that when they come back they are in a mental and physical state where they can perform and deliver. I thank you and the Committee for doing a good job."
