    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for also giving me this opportunity to air my views and consider some issues that have been raised by colleagues in this House. I support the Bill. As Members have said, it has been here for long. It had some issues before. Time has come and there is now light at the end of the tunnel. When we talk of special interest groups, most of the time people think of women. Throughout history, we have had very powerful women who championed their way to this House. We have the likes of Phoebe Asiyo, Chemutai from Rift Valley, Nyiva Mwendwa and others who came and did very well. These include those who were appointed Ministers such as Ngilu, Karua and others. I do not know why we refer to women as special interest groups or weak people who cannot make it, unless they do not want those positions. I can even refer to you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you sit there. You are doing very well. If we rate the way you chair things compared to the other men, you might be better. So why should we all the time say that women need special attention when we know they can do something?"
