    "content": "Hon. Kaluma, I am on a point of order. Thank you. My SDA church has not stopped me from having children through assisted reproductive technology. Let us use Article 24(4) of the Constitution to bring amendments that are conscious of other faiths that may not want to bring issues of assisted reproduction or surrogacy. However, but do not punish, discriminate and stigmatise couples, both men and women. It takes a lot for me to stand before Parliament and admit I am childless, as a woman in her fifties. We call it lur in Dholuo. Nobody talks about lur publicly. It is wrong for this House to subject me to this kind of humiliation. This is not right. I am in the House Business Committee. I have been in this House long enough to know when filibustering is being done. Bring my Bill, even if it fails. Bring it. It will go on record that this House does not want to support women who do not have children. Let it go on record. Do not filibuster and gatekeep with my Bill. Use Article 24(4) of the Constitution and import wordings that exclude faiths that do not do surrogacy. I am a Seventh Day Adventist. Do not force on to me things which are not in my faith."
