I am most excited because the day this Bill started its journey I was in Ol Kalou Constituency rescuing a girl who had been subjected to gender-based violence. She had been raped and had real problems. I am happy because the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee has given justice to Kenyan people today. I am also happy because of the women caucus at that corner. They have walked through this journey with us. In fact, they have brought us together, done a lot of research and they have been encouraging us. Finally, I wish to see the President sign this Bill very fast but we should also remember that Bills are passed and never implemented. I encourage Members to sensitize the public and do civic education so that they are aware of the new law. Tomorrow I want to see newspapers in black and bold writings that 11th Parliament did pass this Bill as they do with other issues."}
