"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, let me thank Sen. Mwaura. Let me take note of the fact that Sen. Mwaura is a very distinguished Kenyan and parliamentarian in the two terms he has been in Parliament. It is not without significance that he has served both in the National Assembly and the Senate. In those two terms, he has distinguished himself as a fighter for justice. That fight for justice is not related to any particular group; it is related to the entire objectives, which are spelt out in the vision that is found in the preamble of the Kenyan Constitution. So, I would wish to encourage Sen. Mwaura, because there are very few people who take causes like this; who may have opportunity to bring causes like this before the legislature but who either do not have time or probably they are ignorant of what is around them. I remember when Hon. (Dr.) Ombaka became blind, he had gone through some medical problems. However, when he spoke in the National Assembly, he actually made a great impact on us. He said that he could once see but now that he is blind, he has got an inner sight that is so amazing that he does not regret being blind. He was able to do things in that condition because he took it positively. From then on, many people had respect for him because he could do anything, any legislator could do. Sen. Mwaura, I cannot stop but continue encouraging you that there are very few people - you can even see in the Chamber how many people are present because this is not a subject that people would want to speak to or they do not think that it is so significant. Madam Temporary Speaker, on my real contact with this subject, I never really thought that there were intersex people because I did not understand that terminology in the first place. One time, I came across some literature and a video showing the number of intersex people in India. In fact, they were having some kind of fellowship. They were many and they were doing this with a sense of pride in order to bring the attention of the people in India. India is a very religious country. There is the Muslim population.
