    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the domestic labour has not been recognized in our laws. It is not until the Matrimonial Property Act that this House is going to pass in the Bill that we are discussing that we do get recognition that domestic labour is just as important as any other work that we do in the daily life of Kenyans. It is important to be a banker, lawyer, but domestic labour is also important. In terms of matrimonial property and contribution, domestic labour does rank and matter and, therefore, our women can continue to serve the men as they work. They can continue to serve in the homes with complete knowledge and awareness that, that work is not in vain. That no woman will be told that the 20 years that you spent in this marriage are not worth anything in terms of property.
