(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":"Hon. Speaker, so that we do not look like we are hounding this lady, let us not, as a House, act on rumours. Let Hon. (Dr.) Pukose bring evidence on what he has said so that even when you make your decision, it is not made based on gender bias. I have never seen so much passion and commitment in following somebody like the way we are following this lady. As I said before, I have never met her. I do not know her even to date. However, I would want us to be fair across the board. Whether she is in Jubilee Party, which I am told she is, or in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM); whether one is a woman or a man, let us be consistent in following our rules. Parliament must be respected, but we must also respect our own rules. If you allege that she has taken up a position, where is the evidence that she has taken up that position? Otherwise, we are hounding this lady unnecessarily."}
