    "content": "correct historical injustices against vulnerable groups that have enhanced inequalities since time immemorial. To buttress the points that were raised by Hon. Nyikal, ironically, Kenya is a State party to the African Charter, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women, which also requires women’s protection against violence. It has also ratified the United Nations Security Council Resolution No.13/25, which calls for equal participation of women in decision-making bodies through the Kenya National Action Plan of 2016. In the spirit of the handshake, President Uhuru Kenyatta and the people’s president Rt. Hon. Dr. Amollo Odinga, will need all the support for the Big Four Agenda to succeed. The main factor that will make or break that legacy will be the inclusion of women in all the four pillars. Without women, there will be no true development in this country. We must respect the law because it is a constitutional requirement and not a charity to be given to our women. Everyone will tell you that their mother is the best in the world. But the highest degree of that goodness must be exhibited by giving them what is due to them. The Bible, a book that I derive my discipline and respect, tells us to give Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Let us give our women what is due to them. For that, I support the adoption of this Bill, which we will mid-wife into an Act of Parliament. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
