"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Bill; a Bill for an Act of Parliament to prohibit the practice of FGM to safeguard against violation of a personâs mental or physical integrity through the practice of FGM and for connected purposes. There are 22 women MPs in this House. They have formed an association known as the Kenya Women Parliamentarians Association (KEWOPA). In this association, Mr. Ekwee Ethuro and Mr. Fred Kapondi are members of KEWOPA. We became members even before the Constitution demanded that a third of every entity must be of either gender. I want to make an appeal to Mr. Duale, Mr. Balala and all other men to stand and be counted as men who support the causes of women in this country. It is a constitutional obligation. We have no choice. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, anybody who still believes in the days of the other Constitution must realize that those days are not only numbered, but they have expired."
