    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to, first of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity to discuss this issue. It has been difficult sometimes to address this issue because most men live a lie. They do not tell their families the truth. That is why you will find that most of us, as leaders, when we die, there are six to 10 concubines with your children and yet while you were alive, you claimed that you had only one wife. You cheated your whole family and left them in embarrassment. Men must come out and speak the truth. Women have succeeded in this and that is why they have pushed the girl-child to a level that has surpassed the boy-child. That is why I support Hon. Mbarire when she says a boy-child should also be pushed to that level. It is the reason I am opposed to the proposal that if you want to be a governor, you must look for a woman as your deputy. You need to look for a person who will complement what you do not have, so that you become a strong team to win an election. Therefore, we are all Kenyans and ours is a democratic society. You do not need to legislate in this House, issues of gender because it was put it in the Constitution but, until today, we have not achieved it even in this House. I warn the BBI guys, if they put that proposal in the BBI that if you want to be a governor or a president, a woman should be your deputy, we will defeat that thing early in the morning, as Kenyans."
