    "content": "But, from where I sit, it is only the men. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo is not a female Member of Parliament and neither are Hon. T. J. Kajwang’ or the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. She knows I am the only one who has signed the two-third gender rule. Everywhere she invites me, I go. I am very sure there is no one Member who is equivalent to five Millies. Today we are lucky to be 11. We were four on Thursday. In fact, I was saying that this Fisheries Bill is what is keeping many of us here because fisheries and livestock are neighbours. They are one of the few groups which have been marginalized in this country. I wanted to participate in the fisheries legislation but, I think the Special Economic Zones Bill is the first law in our country. We expect those zones to be established next to infrastructure; next to where there is power like in Ol Karia where power does not need to be transported for long periods. These zones must be where there is infrastructure; where there is power, water and access to financial institutions. Among the laws we have passed this afternoon and last week - like the Companies Bill, the Insolvency Bill, the Business Registration Bill and the Special Economic Zones Bill - are hallmark of this Government and of the leadership. They show that we are so much minded about the business and the economy of our country. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
