    "content": "If not, can we find a way to ensure that the gender sensitive matters that keep reappearing on this impeachment--- I am guided and I know that I am not supposed to talk on the issues but they are gender sensitive matters including the issue of the Office of the First Husband. It is a gender sensitive matter. We need to have a Committee which we, as the other Senators, believe and trust that it will execute these matters with the awareness of its gender sensitivity nature. It is a fact that this is the first time we are experiencing the Office of a First Husband. Most of the issues being brought up are actually attached to gender matters. It is morally improper that a select few Members came together and put an eleven-Member Committee without holding a kamukunji of any sort. They did not talk to the Senators. They did not say, ‘this is the weight of the matter’ and neither did they get divergent views. Instead, we have come to the Floor of the House thinking that we are coming to execute our duties only to be informed through the Order Paper that the Senate has already resolved to put up an eleven-Member Committee. I oppose this Motion and I urge my fellow women Senators--- There is a poem that has the following lines, “first, they came for the Communists--- then they came for me.” By the time they will come for them, there will be no one to fight for them. I urge them, including the three women Senators who have been put in the Committee, to come together and ensure that governor Kawira gets a fair and equal platform where we can listen and execute our duties as Senators of this House. This is a matter that is bigger than them. I thank you."
