    "content": "Who is directing him to bring Bills that the women of Kenya have said no to? The women Members of Parliament (MPs) in this House speak for the women of this country. We have had serious consultations with the civil society. We have met women at the grassroots level, held workshops with women, meetings with women and they have said what they want. The Constitution is very clear. That, he now comes back here and ignores those voices is bad. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it worries me that we should have such kind of games being played on a very important issue that is clearly enshrined in the Constitution. As the women of this country and as women leaders who have the privilege to sit in this House, we must come out strongly against this. We must say no to people playing games with matters this important. I have listened to the male speakers who have spoken before me and tried to belittle the role of women Members of Parliament inside here. Hon. Midiwo talked about people getting “free things”. I have been a nominated Member of Parliament in this House. The Hon. Millie Odhiambo and others have been nominated in this House. We did not get those seats for free; we worked for them through our political parties."
