    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support this Bill purely because the principles on which it is based seek to encompass the principles of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Those principles being gender representation and representation of marginalised groups in appointment into boards. That is the main reason I am standing to support this Bill. A lot has been said by Members before me, but I would like to put this on record. I have sat here this morning just to get a chance to say that I am standing in defiance. It is in defiance of the fact that there are doctors on strike at the moment and there are people who think that Members of Parliament (MPs) benefit from such activities. It is as if MPs have doctors to go to when those doctors are on the roads; as if we are a special breed of people that can get treated by aliens if we are not treated by the same doctors. I want it to be noted that we and especially me, I am standing here in defiance. I do not wish to speak on this Bill anymore because of the present situation in the country.
