    "content": "There are quite a number of other issues that make this no business. One, Hon. Junet has not even tabled any report. Among other things, he says that the person who was clerking was a Member of the delegation. It now becomes more complicated. When the person who was taking notes was also a Member of the delegation participating… At least, you should have brought a report from there. Let me give general administrative direction on this. This is a conference on the status of women. The direction it has taken in the last few years since we became two Houses is that there are some people who travel to attend that conference from the Senate and there are those who travel from this House. It is a matter that I would not want to be too deeply involved in. I have no role in knowing or even selecting which of the Members travel. We have given that responsibility to the local organisation called the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) and the committee that is directly involved in those matters being the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. The Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare gives us two names. The only requirement is that they should ensure that as many of them as possible attend because most of them do not seem to understand some of the issues. So they also need a lot of training by their colleagues for experience sharing, so that it is not one person who goes year-in-year-out. Nominations are through KEWOPA and the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. If Hon. Junet is in the Committee of Labour, then the Committee can also nominate him. If his name comes, I have no reason to disallow. The Committee can nominate Hon. Junet. I suspect by now that has already happened. The Committee also decided that they wanted only women Members of Parliament. In the Senate, there is a small off-shoot of KEWOPA called the Kenya Women Senators Association (KEWOSA) and also a Committee on Labour.
