    "content": "When she was a “bearded sister”, very few men--- In those days, the House was male-dominated and nobody could cough. I was told by Mzee ole Ntimama, that they feared those people so much that, sometimes, they were only waiting for what “ Baba ” would say. But what do we learn from her death as a country? In my view, the same tenets of democracy, the bravery with which she fought, we need to reward her and others like Anyona and Orengo with making sure that this Constitution is not played around with and it is protected, particularly the freedom aspects of it. That we need as Members of Parliament and as a country to talk about those things that will make us live in a free society, we need to talk. I saw yesterday in the Synovate opinion polls that Kenyans distrust the police. In fact, they are asking what happened to police reforms. Remember the pain that lady endured and the amount of force which was meted on them by the Police Force. It should be rewarding that Members of Parliament and Kenyans, at least, will not let our future generations go through the kind of hurt and bitterness with which some of them have died. I want to end by saying that some of us who happen to know the families around the late Chelagat Mutai, we have been invited to a Harambee to defray the funeral expenses this evening after her service at the Tin Tin Restaurant. I want to ask that may God touch your hearts so that we can go and take the little that we have, so that she does not only go to rest in peace, but she leaves her environment also peaceful. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir."
