    "content": "I want to tell the people of Kisumu and other areas that are represented by the National Super Alliance (NASA) that we will still represent them because we are the National Assembly. It is unfortunate that the Members they voted for are letting them down and earning a salary they are not working for. As the Member from Meru has stated, there was a very sad situation in Kisumu yesterday. Some hooligans walked in on women who were having a meeting in a hotel and started to beat them. They actually humiliated them and took their phones. Women the age of our mothers were crying because of being harassed by young men who are like their sons. It is unfortunate. I am looking forward to the women who have been elected from those areas to condemn the act and stand with those mothers. It was not necessary. This Kenya is greater than any one of us and we must condemn the act with the strongest words possible. Even to the media, I hope they will be keen. It was reported yesterday that identity cards were being bought. That photo did not indicate that even though it was a file photo in a tweet. It was very unfortunate. The media also should be very careful on what they post so that we do not cause chaos and acrimony in this country. The President was very categorical on the support of women in Kenya. From the 23 Members who have been elected in the National Assembly to represent constituencies, 18 are from the Jubilee Party and its affiliates. That is more than 80 per cent. When you look at the Women Representatives, most of them are from the Jubilee Party. We are very happy and I think this Parliament will be very vibrant with youthful representation of all the Kenyan diversity. We are looking forward to giving a very good face to this country through a very progressive and vibrant 12th Parliament. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
