    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I also want to congratulate my sister, Hon. Sabina, for bringing forth such a beneficial Bill to the mother and child. They say a healthy nation is a wealthy nation. As Hon. Florence Kajuju has said, as mothers, we know the benefits of breastfeeding a baby exclusively for six months. Breastfeeding a child for six months cuts the risks of having weak children who are susceptible to infections such as diarrhoea and vomiting. It also cuts the mortality rate of children by a reasonable rate. It is very unfortunate that the public and the private sector still discriminate against breastfeeding mothers in the 21st Century. We know there are organisations which do not employ ladies, especially those who are still within the child bearing age, like me, simply because they fear losing the hours that such ladies attend to their children, they fear losing the time such ladies go for maternity. It is against the spirit of the Constitution, which says that nobody should be discriminated against based on factors like gender or age."
