    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, considering that I was supporting the submissions of Sen. Eddy Oketch, I do not want to disrupt him. When I listen to Sen. Mandago standing and not only Sen. Mandago, today, this afternoon is a really trying session, when I listen to various Senators always trying to cast aspersions on women leaders in this House. He even alluded that Sen. Eddy Oketch should not listen to me because, therefore, he has no future in politics. What is Sen. Mandago saying? Does Sen. Mandago understand that when he was in politics, I was in primary school? He has gone round and round all those years in politics and now we are sitting in the same House. That should tell you that there is something that women leaders, including myself, are doing right. He should not have been in the same space where I am if I was doing something wrong. I beg that as we are executing our debates, with all fairness this afternoon and being a representative of women, because that is my specially nominated representation here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, please protect this House from chauvinistic arguments like those of Sen. Mandago, claiming that if this is the women leadership we have, then we do not need women leaders. May I remind Sen. Mandago that if it was not for women, he would not even be alive. We are the ones who are giving birth to these men all over. We are the ones who are bringing leaders into this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, protect women in this House and myself, and have him withdraw those comments and apologize."
