Even as I do so, I congratulate the Committee and the Chair, Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei. I hope she will be considered as one of the awardees when Parliament forwards names for awards. She has done an excellent job. I have been in this Parliament and I have seen the work Committee chairs do, but she has done an excellent job. At the same time, I congratulate Hon. Amina Abdalla for coming up with the Statutory Instruments Bill that produced this Act. It has ensured that Parliament has a say especially when other bodies are not following the regulations. As we are coming up with this potential vote on the two-thirds gender rule, somebody was challenging me that women come to Parliament and do not work. I do not know whether Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei is transgendered. Really, she is doing an excellent work and she is a woman. Hon. Amina Abdalla did an excellent work and she is a woman. I am here doing an excellent work and I am a woman. Prof. Oduol here is always doing excellent work and she is a woman. So, it is not true."}
