    "content": "As I support this Bill by Sen. Osotsi, I am asking him to think through it. This is because there are matters that are affecting women. We require this Bill to give us some sort of power or authority to arrest the Inspector General (IG) and Head of the gender department, if they are not willing to protect our women and implement the laws that are there. We want this Bill to not only cover that we are arresting Cabinet Secretaries because they did not come to Committees but also reflect on the representation of people; particularly women out there. Therefore, I support this Bill. It is a black Valentine’s Day. We are in black and red and are very sad about everything that is happening to our women in Kenya. As I support this Bill, let us work hard as legislators. The people might not understand the bureaucratic processes of playing oversight. So, this is an important tool that we require as the ‘Upper House’ to be able to have an impact down to the grassroot level. Thank you."
