    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to inform the Attorney-General that I was very actively involved in a programme that was sponsored by several development partners, including SIDA, which is called “Mainstreaming in Action”. What we were doing was mainstreaming the human rights of women, children and other marginalised groups. When you now see a woman involved in the construction of roads, it is not accidental. We fought for it to ensure that a woman can also be involved in the construction of roads, even if it means doing light work. We increasingly see that happening, and we think that it has always been there. It has not always been there. In the same vein, I would want to encourage us that we must mainstream in action in every Ministry. One day, when I finally become a Member of the Executive in the next Parliament--- First, I will seek to be a Member of Parliament. If I do not become a Member of Parliament, I will be part of the Executive, to be on the safe side. However, I would not want to be in a Ministry of Gender and Children. I like mainstreaming the rights of the youth, women and children in unconventional Ministries, like the Ministry of Roads and the Office of the Attorney-General. So, I will take over from my able teacher. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
