    "content": "She was among the female legislators who made the Kenya African National Union (KANU) Government have sleepless nights at that time. The mission of those kind of women legislators was to fight corruption and injustice that was the order of the day during that time. They stood up to the Government of the day. The late Chelagat Mutai faced detention and torture. She faced all that so as to stand up for the people who elected her. I want to take this opportunity just to say that today, we adore Chelagat Mutai who died of a heart attack. But we are not being told of the torture that she went through as a woman legislator in this county. I want to believe that where we are now, we do not wish to have other legislators, either male or female, go through what that particular female legislator went through. I also want to say Chelagat Mutai took her people up to where they are today. People like her and others in that particular time, are the people who stood up to make this country what it is today. May Chelagat Mutai rest in peace. I wish that in this country something can be done in remembrance of that young female legislator who made her way to Parliament, just at a young age in order to make other young women to rise up to such positions. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir and I welcome my colleagues too, to pay tribute to her."
