    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Unless we change our Standing Orders, they are very clear that we would only admit lady Members to the Chamber with bags. Those bags must be of reasonable size and must be checked. I suppose that the bag that is held by Hon. Kaluma was checked, but it does not meet the threshold of him being a female as far as we know and as far as his records in Parliament show. There is no contradiction. There may be contradiction elsewhere, but in terms of records, the people of Homa Bay elected a male Member. If we were to work on the formula of realising the two-third gender rule, we would compute his tally as male and, therefore, work for more females to be nominated to this House if that law was allowed. In my view, there is no ambiguity in this. Hon. Kaluma should just return the bag where he got it from. He has not said the truth. These bags are issued to every Member out here. It is not that he has been recognised. In fact, I was worried how Hon. Kaluma could be recognised for fighting for gender issues and I am not. But now I have just learnt that these bags are given to every male Member who wants to pick them. I am going to pick mine as I walk out."
