    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the Motion. Part of the reason is what Hon. Martha has stated. We need to deal with monkeys. I stay next to a river and many times I get visits, sometimes when I am alone. We have not trained monkeys on gender issues. They have no regard especially for women. If my husband is around they run away, but when it is me, they do not care. We have to find ways of dealing with monkeys. This is a short Motion and I do not want to say much. I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Health on the way they are organised and orderly. When the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman of the Committee are not in, there is Hon. Nyikal, who is an excellent medic, to move the Motion so that the Committee can expedite it. And there is Hon. Oron, a member of the Committee, ready to second the Bill. The only challenge is when it comes to my Bill. Suddenly the Chairman and Vice-Chairman are not there, Hon. Nyikal is suddenly totally unable to move the Bill. I have been in this House for long and I know when we are filibustering. Please do not filibuster on my Bill. I have encouraged my brother Hon. Kaluma, and I will speak to it when we get to my Bill. We can borrow the wording of Article 24(4) of the Constitution which says: The provisions of this Chapter on equality shall be qualified to the extent strictly necessary for the application of Muslim law before the Kadhi’s courts to persons who profess the Muslim religion in matters relating to personal status, marriage, divorce and inheritance. We can use similar wording, export it to my Bill and pass it. I am the one who does not give birth and would want to give birth. Members delaying the Bill are going to make me have a child at 60 when I should have had a child at 40. Do not harass me. I need to have a child and I need to have a child now. I need a law that will enable me and other women to have children. Therefore, stop filibustering on my Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
