"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, on the 26th October, 2016, Kenya was able to celebrate, for the first time, the Intersex Persons Remembrance Day, which is a global day. The intersex people were able to come to Parliament and present some Public Petition, which I was able to receive. However, here we are, we were able to bring together intersex people to form the Intersex Persons Society of Kenya (IPSK) because we knew we could not be the advocates, they also needed to be safe advocates to tell their stories as they are. You can imagine when we lodged the papers at the Registrar of Societies to have this IPSK registered, it was not accepted and they said: “We do not want such kind of people.” Again, it took the intervention of the AG‟s Emeritus Prof. Githu Muigai to have this come to bear. I am very glad to say because these are the unsung heroes who help people to fully achieve their rights and fundamental freedoms."
