We were asked: “How democratic is your own parliament in terms of how it facilitates a Member of Parliament to be able to operate and represent his/her people properly or do oversight?” We realised that in other parliaments, the Speaker decides who goes to international trips and even decides the per diem of Hon. Members depending on how loyal they are, maybe, to the Speaker or to the government. We were quoted as an example because here in Kenya, it does not matter whether you are in NASA or the Jubilee Party. The per diem is equal to everybody. I realised that we are more democratic than those parliaments. This is good experience even for Members who think that Kenya is not good. It will be good for them to share experiences when they go to these countries because they will be surprised that we are more democratic than most parliaments in the world. In fact, they come to our country to learn some of these things. Even in women representation we do very well in the world. When you go to these countries you will be shocked. We blame ourselves in Kenya but when you go to those countries, you will come back and say: “Ooh,"
