    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, unless you feel guilty, I have not named anyone. In support of Hon. Ruku, I said that he has been an avid debater in this House. That is a fact that speaks for itself. I am also referring to Members who are present in the House but do not debate, and the HANSARD can prove me right. If anyone wants to challenge me, I can adduce evidence of how many times each and every one of us has contributed to debates in this House, including those who have been very noisy without debating. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Ruku has also been very keen in articulating Government’s policy in the House, outside and even on national television by engaging in debates and informing the public on what the Government is doing, as well as his work as a legislator. Ms Hanna Wendot Cheptumo, as I said, is an accomplished professional. This lady was welcomed into the public sector by a section of social media users because of an unfortunate statement she made inadvertently. I must say that thosse who were keen during the approval hearing will note that she was basically responding to something prompted by a Member of the Committee. She has not been welcomed kindly to the public sector by those on social media, but I can tell members of the public that Ms Hanna Wendot Cheptumo is an accomplished lawyer. She is a lady of immense professional attributes as a lawyer, defender of human rights, a fighter for women's rights, a lover and a firm defender of children, including our young girls and women. Although gender issues are not just about women, considering the cases of femicide and abuse of women's rights we have seen in the country, I am certain that as an accomplished lawyer, Ms Hanna Wendot Cheptumo will be at the forefront in defending both genders. During the approval hearings, I heard Hon. Junet, the Leader of the Minority Party, assert that there are also men who suffer quietly. They also look up to Ms Hanna Wendot Cheptumo to ensure that they do not continue to suffer in silence because gender-based issues are not exclusive to the female gender."
