    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I do not wish to respond to the issues that I heard this morning and that are outside the Motion. I want to confirm that I have tremendous respect for Kenyan women, and I have never disrespected them. What has happened is that as politicians, there is always propaganda to undermine somebody. I call upon anybody with evidence that I have ever disrespected that person to come out and provide that evidence. I heard my very great friend, Hon. Faith Gitau, say that I disrespect women. Many times, I have been to Nyandarua. I have referred to her as Ngatha . Ngatha is a Kikuyu name for a woman of great respect. That, I have done countless times and is on video. Finally, I heard what Hon. Boss Shollei said in Eldoret. This morning, you said that I should be charged with treason. My sister, I am a grateful man. I remember and I will never forget. During the last administration when I was arrested on fabricated charges for standing with President William Ruto against the wishes of the Government at that time, Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei came and sat with me at the Headquarters of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). She brought me tea and lunch. She sat with me and comforted me. In court, she coordinated the collection of Ksh12.5 million as my cash bail. She came to see me in Gigiri for four days and had very kind words for me. Despite what you have said, my sister, I remember that one good thing that you did for me, and I will love you and cherish you for the rest of my life."
