    "content": "I want to plead with our lady colleagues that we have tried. I have been here when there were no women in this House. Now, we have almost 60 of them and we are all here and the number is increasing. Therefore, you cannot use the numbers we are adding you to hurt us. We cannot allow you to do so. Therefore, it is very important that it is known that we are a Kenyan society; but we are not yet a nation. Any Bill that will destroy the fabric of our nation is one that we cannot accept. This is not America; it is not England. We cannot live like that. Hon. Speaker, I lived in America and when I was there, a Bill was passed. That Bill was not implementable; that, if you look at a nicely dressed woman and if she does not like you looking at her, that is a crime of sexual harassment. Therefore, how are we going to meet women if when we see a good one, it is taken to be sexual harassment? Hon. Speaker, our children need to reserve that right because it can go either way. Let me tell this House one thing through the Chair. Nowadays, around Nairobi, there are very many women who are liberated and they have a lot of money. But their preference is not old men like us. They are going after our sons."
