    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this matter. I congratulate the two nominees. I know them. I worked with Hon. Jaldesa in the 12th Parliament. I have no doubt that they will inject the much-needed energy for the Commission to deliver the mandate that is given to it by the Constitution. The appointment to that Commission comes at a time when we are discussing the issues of femicide, which need to be taken seriously by everybody. The National Gender and Equality Commission is supposed to reduce gender disparities. That does not mean you forget the issues of men. The inclusion of people with disabilities, children, youth and the elderly are issues that should be fully canvassed by that Commission. We need to remind them to focus on those issues. In terms of national development, the Commission must consider marginalised groups. I am lucky to be serving in the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee. One of the Chairpersons appeared before our Committee. Let us not bash that Commission. It has not been popularised to Kenyans. Most Kenyans are not aware of whether it exists. We need to fund them to get the publicity that they need."
