(Ms.) Kajuju","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":840,"legal_name":"Florence Kajuju","slug":"florence-kajuju"},"content":"This Bill has allowed a lactating mother to get a balance between caring for a child and work. We know that the workplace environment has been very harsh on mothers. There are situations when employers have a tendency of behaving as if breastfeeding a child is a curse to a mother. Time has come for this to be respected. As I say this, I look at Mhe . Sarah Korere, who had an opportunity of becoming a mother in the 11th Parliament. She really appreciates this Bill. Although, she says that in the 12th Parliament she will also attempt to get another baby, I believe she will be the first beneficially of this Bill because the Deputy Speaker and I do not have an opportunity of enjoying those benefits."}
