    "content": "You see we are discussing women affairs and it is women who are shouting. This is the problem we have in Kenya. If women could elect one of their own, they would be the president of this country. They do not want to vote for themselves. They vote for men, then later they say they are being marginalised. If every woman voted for a woman, this House would be two- thirds women. The biggest voters who have brought men to this House are women. The votes you are sure of in your constituency are women votes. You know the way men are. They can talk to you in the morning and in the afternoon they are with your opponent but if a woman assures you of voting for you, you are sure of that vote. I wish they could vote for themselves to sort out the problem of two-thirds gender rule. In conclusion, let us give Ms Hanna Wendot a chance. God is a God of second chances. Let us give her a chance and see how she performs. The constitutional power to appraise Cabinet Secretaries is with this House. We can summon them any time to answer questions. If she does not perform, we have the constitutional mandate to impeach her. If we impeached a rogue Deputy President, what is a Cabinet Secretary? That can be done in a one-afternoon session. If we impeached a rogue man who said some Kenyans are not shareholders and members of this country but are from Tanzania and that Hon. Ichung’wah is from Ghana... If we impeached that man, what of a Cabinet Secretary? It will just take us one afternoon session to do that. We can deal with her perpendicularly in this House. What it will take is just for the Speaker to put the Question that, will as many who are of the opinion say aye and he will be gone."
