    "content": "I agree with Hon. Sabina Chege that the problem is that we always follow double standards. I am not saying that we should disobey or disregard the law, but I do not know why people are excited that whenever we are talking about integrity and other issues, when it comes to women, we are so fast to throw stones. Even within this list, the male Members have come to tell me: “We should remove this one. He is corrupt”. Why are you not saying it here loudly? It is because he is a man! But when it is woman’s dual citizenship, suddenly the Constitution is primary. Issues of leadership and integrity in the Constitution that touch on a male nominee, we are not bold enough to say it. Why? Because you see women as low-hanging fruits. Today, I really was on fire with my own Members of Parliament who have made it their business… Instead of focusing on their legislative, oversight and representation roles, some of them were busy “oversighting” women’s private parts. I have told them that they did not come here to do that. They do not have a mandate to “oversight” women’s private parts. They are making my sister, Hon. Passaris, not to come to Parliament because all of them are busy talking about her over things which are not even proven or of allegations that we do not know. Let them focus on representation, legislation and oversight roles and leave women Members to do their work."
