    "content": "can see male Members of Parliament are opposed to this Breastfeeding Mothers Bill. They want it to be a Breastfeeding Fathers Bill. I would suggest that Hon. Ichung’wah be the first breastfeeding father when this Bill passes because I know it is going to pass. In the same spirit, Hon. Gikaria was concerned that he will not have another child because of his age. I am going to have my first baby after 50 years. With technology, you can do so much. So, I will also be a beneficiary since I am coming back to this Parliament. That will happen with assisted technology. I will be a breastfeeding mother even as Hon. Ichung’wah will also be a breastfeeding father. This is a matter of reproductive rights of women. I challenge the Government of Kenya, especially the Executive. If you looked at the advert three days ago about a policy on menstrual hygiene for women, you will realize that all the people who were being advertised, including Principal Secretaries (PSs), were men. I know how terribly awkward it can be for male PSs within an African setting to be seated discussing the menstrual health of women. That is why we encourage this Government and the succeeding Government, which will be a National Super Alliance (NASA) Government, to ensure that in all appointed positions, two-thirds are women. It should not be one-third because men have been enjoying too much."
