    "content": " In the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure. We have 15 Members and there is only one lady. That is an accident and a big one, according to Standing Order 173. You can imagine, Hon. Speaker, 14 men seated with one woman. They will not deliberate. We applied for these positions. This is telling us that women Members cannot manage transport committees yet we are the ones who walk miles to the markets and rivers. What are they telling us? Women have been placed in the Departmental Committee on Social Protection, and you want us to approve the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) Report. To the men in this House, we need justice. This Committee needs to be disbanded, Hon. Speaker. Women voices should be respected. For the same reason, they allocate women representatives who serve four to ten constituencies the same allocation for operations as a single constituency Member of Parliament. This should stop and women must be respected. We are the ones who breastfeed and bring life to this world. Hon. Speaker, it is very wrong and we protest. We do not like it; we want balance and equity. Equity, equity! Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
