    "content": "no need to personalise issues. When the BAC did not find favour with some of the proposals from the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and rejected the proposed allocation to this vote, a few of us became victims of insults and unnecessary messages from women representatives. The Chairman and I were targeted. Some of the people who were sending me these messages are not even aware that in the last Parliament, I single-handedly went with the women representatives to the Treasury to plead on their behalf with the CS for Finance to allocate this money. If I did not do that, probably they would even not have anything to talk about today. So, let these MPs who get excited so fast with unnecessary insults be advised that some of us are immune to insults. We have actually withstood insults many times and no matter what you say, I may not really be shaken. As I conclude, I just wanted to add that I know we have regulations on this Fund but, again, there is need seriously for all of us to be clear that any allocation that we make goes towards supporting our constituents and the distribution is uniform. I must say this. I would hate to see a county with seven or eight constituencies and because a woman representative wants to be a member of a single constituency, then most of the money goes to that single constituency and the others are left to suffer. To me, that would beat the logic, the objective and the rationale of allocating this Fund. Otherwise, thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
