"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really want to thank the hon. Members of the Tenth Parliament for supporting very many issues that we, as women, have put a lot of passion on. However, this was probably the one that really was closest to our hearts. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, behind this Bill is also two great women, our Chair and Vice-Chair of Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA). I think it is also important to note that without hon. Kilimo and hon. Noor, we would never have realized the impact of FGM in this country. But, of course, the Mover will go into history, not only in Kenya, but in Africa because I have been following this issue even at the Pan-African Parliament level, as the man who brought it to Parliament and got overwhelming support, and was able to help the women of this country not to face this cut anymore. I want to say that hon. Kapondi, to me, is not my grandfather. In fact, he can easily be my boyfriend because he is the kind of man any woman would want to be associated with. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support and thank him."
