    "content": "pillar and political pillar. How can you have the third pillar in society without the most important woman in your life? I am sure with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ smiling in the manner in which he is doing, he is only agreeing with me and he has nothing else to add. Mother Theresa said: “A drop in the ocean is only a drop. But without that drop, the ocean will be less full.” What we are asking for today is to allow this Bill to go through. By allowing it, it does not necessarily mean you are going to look at the woman who is in Parliament today or the Hon. female Member who is in Parliament today. You are doing it for your daughters, sisters and for posterity. I am proud of the Ninth Parliament that passed the Sexual Offenses Act. That was the best moment for the woman in Kenya. In this Parliament, we have passed the Marriage Act, the Matrimonial Properties Act and the sharing of properties within a marriage. We have also passed the law against matrimonial violence. So, if this Bill is passed, it is going to show that the men of the 11th Parliament are the real men in Kenya. Today is the day for the male Members in Parliament to prove that by passing this Bill, history is going to judge them in the right manner. I am praying and requesting my colleagues that we pass this legislation, so that everything that we do will show that we respect our mothers, sisters and daughters, and we wish them well. I pray that this comes to be and I support it."
