    "content": " Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to add my voice to this very serious situation in our country. If you look at the Bill of Rights, every citizen has a right to live in dignity. But you will find that those women are dejected, they are not accepted in the society and they cannot even enjoy conjugal rights. With urine and faeces coming together, those women cannot live a total life. You will also find that even the right of those women to breastfeed their children is troubled. How can you breastfeed your child when you are faced with those problems? For those women to have dignity in life, the fistula issue must be attended to. We have the Big Four Agenda. How can those women contribute to the Big Four Agenda if they are in that state? How can those women even go to the fields or be empowered? In Kenya now, women are supposed to be empowered. For economic empowerment, a woman must be fit. But, those women are just dejected in the society. They cannot do anything. When they go to sit with other women, the other women and people reject them. Their families reject them. I support this Motion for the sake of those women to be total women in the society. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
