    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were agitating for the elimination of customary and religious laws that violate women’s rights and are in conflict with the rights and duties protected under the international laws that Kenya has ratified. We were speaking against retrogressive socio-cultural practices that impede on women’s rights to participate, access and control resources. We were saying, no, to violence against women while also outlawing traditional harmful practices such as the outrageous practice of female genital mutilation and the outrageous practice of forced marriages of minors. It is for the purpose of safeguarding these gains and many others that I will not bore the House with, because we all know what I am talking about. We must establish a gender commission for equality and as a constitutional and autonomous statutory body with a framework that will provide for clear mandate without having to report to anyone else."
