    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for refreshing my memory on this new definition of gender. It has gone into the history of Kenya that there is another dictionary from the Supreme Court that has defined gender to include lesbian, gay, queer behaviour, et cetera . This complicates the aspect of who we define as “gender.” As it is, the issue of sexual orientation has been brought out practically where both men are involved in sexual intercourse without respect of the human nature the way it was defined. This will require another definition of “gender” in my view. Therefore, we would like to bring in an amendment of the word “gender” to include gays. The problem is, “Where are they going to be represented?” Are they the majority or the minority? So, the competition is now between the gender woman and the gender male who are practising sexual orientation. We need to be very careful here on what we are calling the “gender.” The first thing we are going to do is to redefine again the word “gender” to include male so that we see the numbers they have. Thereafter, we will agree whether they are the majority or the minority. As it is, according to the Supreme Court’s definition, we are in danger of carrying this Motion forward in the context of the new development in definition. That is my view."
