    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, earlier in the day, I challenged a colleague in trying to address those fears that for me, if today my wife was the President of the Republic of Kenya, I would be very happy. In fact, I would be carrying her bag everywhere she goes and I would also be called His Excellency. So, my male colleagues, we do not have to fear women outnumbering us in decision-making. There are many examples of countries that are progressing very well in many aspects of life because more women are in power. An example is Rwanda. In Rwanda, you find that primary health, which is very important, is progressing very well. In fact, in Africa, Rwanda is leading in primary health. The reason why this is happening is because there are more women in Parliament and, therefore, they are able to allocate more resources to critical aspects of life which matter to both men and women. If there are more women in leadership, it is good for the health of both men and women. We really do not need to fear a possibility that in future, we are likely to have more women in decision-making."
