    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Two statements have been put across here by esteemed Senators. I think they are quite solemn in the sense that they involve harassment and deaths of very important people; women, in our society. One of them was by Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, who sought to get some comment of action from the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights over a lady who was harassed by a Matatu operator on Thika Road. We have seen these scenes several times. Sometimes we take them for granted almost like a norm where women are harassed in public places for different reasons. This is something that as a country, we must start working hard to put behind. It is very serious and needs to be dealt with. In the same manner, the Senator of Kiambu County talked about the hyena attack that unfortunately, again, was an attack on a woman. This tells us some trends. It seems like women in their strivings everyday to feed families find themselves in serious trouble. Today in the morning, I just got news from Migori County of women who are affected by the effects of El Nino . They were trying to get themselves to the other side of Aneko, which is one of the rivers that floods during such a time. They had their boat capsize and four of them died together with the gentleman who was helping them cross by boat."
