    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate the Mover of this Motion and, surely as I stand here, I stand on behalf of 51 per cent of Kenyans. Those are the mothers, the grandmothers and the sisters of Ms. Luptia Nyong’o. Truly, we are indebted, proud, happy and very happy as mothers of Kenya, more so to Dorothy Nyong’o who is the mother of Lupita. It is no longer business as usual when we used to say that the place for a woman is in the kitchen. The women of Kenya have made Kenya proud through our athletes, the late Wangari Maathai and the rest. I am so overjoyed because the women have done it. The foundation of a child which revolves most of the time with the mother is what we have seen. This has been proven. We are indebted to this good foundation. I would like to urge all the parents to give their children a chance to prove themselves. In most cases, we interfere with their choices, but I think we should leave them to choose what is best for them in their lives. I believe that the inspiration that this young Kenyan has given to Kenya is remarkable and the challenge that Lupita has given to the young generation of Kenya is supposed to be noted and to allow parents to give their children a chance."
