    "content": "Hon. Nyokabi comes from Nyeri. The little I have heard about ladies from Nyeri is that they are not like the ladies from my county. They are dangerous. So, Hon. Speaker, protect me. She can jump from there. We went in circles and talked about how good our mothers, wives, sisters and the women of Kenya are. We tried to speak in all languages to convince the House. We also spoke in our mother tongues outside this Chamber. Ultimately we are back to square one. The only hope we have under the Hon. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is that we should compromise. In 2007, when Kenyans went through Post Election Violence (PEV), they came for the Serena talks. The two coalitions agreed and Hon. Raila Odinga became the Prime Minister and Hon. Mwai Kibaki became the President. I would like to ask our sisters and colleagues: Can we think like that time of the National Accord? Can we have a National Accord with the likes of Millie Odhiambo and Hon. Nyokabi? Can we have a Kofi Annan atmosphere? Hon. Speaker, I am sure that you are a senior politician because you were here in the 9th Parliament. If you look at progression of women leaders in this House from the 1st Parliament to the 11th Parliament, you will realise that the numbers are increasing. This cannot work even in the House of Commons. The House of Commons has attained the highest percentage of gender rule by about 28 per cent. The Congress does not have what we are looking for. Look at a democracy like France. I can only compare Kenya with its peers. You cannot compare Kenya’s parliamentary democracy with that of Djibouti or Uganda. I would like to thank the leadership from Rift Valley The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
