"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this approval Motion. Hon. Rehema Jaldesa served with us in the 12th Parliament, and she was a very committed Member. She was a Member who knew what she was here to do. I hope she will steer that organisation forward, which has not been doing well since it was formed. I believe she will give it a new dimension that can have an impact on society, because it has not had any serious impact. That is why many Kenyans have been pushing for NGEC to be dissolved, along with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), and to be placed under the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. This week, on gender matters, we have seen Hon. Millie Odhiambo, yourself, among other leaders, condemning femicide and women being brutally injured or killed in this country. That wave should not be allowed. Our security agents and community policing must be alert. What is not happening? Community policing should be strengthened and Kenyans put on the watch out. We are not created equally. Compared to men, physically, women are created as the weaker sex. That is why men commit most femicide and injury cases to women. We condemn that behaviour. It should not happen in this country. We should respect our women and girls. Let us give them the dignity they deserve. We must, at the same time, give the boy child an opportunity, so that he is not left behind."

"content": " Thank you for giving me this opportunity. The National Gender and Equality Commission was founded in 2011 – that is 13 years ago - just after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, with the idea of driving the two-thirds gender rule agenda. To date, we have failed to achieve that. It was established to promote equality and freedom from all forms of discrimination, especially for special interest groups like women, youth, persons with disability, children, the elderly, minorities and the marginalised. I had the pleasure of serving with Hon. Rehema Jaldesa in the 12th Parliament and travelling with her to Isiolo. I have known her beyond the term we served together as parliamentarians. Hon. Jaldesa was known as the lioness in her county. She was the epitome of strength. She had the ability to understand what it takes to be a leader and a woman in a society where women are not empowered, especially having lost her husband through a plane crash and becoming a widow with five children at a very young age. Her ability to make decisions for her people as a woman of strength and her leadership skills got recognised by the male gender. I believe the Commission will have a very good chairperson in her to do its work. However, the Commission will not do its work as long as we do not fund it. As we mark the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, we need the Commission to come out to help us achieve what we need to achieve in ending gender-based violence across all genders. The Commission is not just about women. It is supposed to deal with issues of all genders, in terms of ending discrimination. We are going to mark 20 years of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD) in Kenya this week. We also have to recognise that persons living with disability are in that bracket. The Commission needs to be empowered. I wish Jaldesa and all the commissioners well in their term. We hope to see more in attaining the not more than two-thirds of one gender in institutions across the board."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wish to support the nomination of Hon. Rehema Dida Jaldesa as the Chairperson of the National Gender and Equality Commission. At the same time, I support the member called Michael Nzomo Mbithuka. I thank the Committee that vetted the two nominees and commend His Excellency the President for picking the best brains to handle that Commission. Briefly, as we talk about femicide, I challenge ourselves. This crisis has arisen and happened. We really do not know why. We may never strike a balance or get an answer if we do not unearth the real reason why the young men are so bitter with women. As we talk about gender equity, let us critically scrutinise to know what has gone wrong in our society. We, as women, are the mothers of boys and girls. We bring those children up together. However, we, at some point, realise that this is out of reach. Let us unearth the reasons and strike a balance by knowing why our boys are so bitter to the extent of turning into beasts. I join my sister, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, in condemning the wordings of whoever. As much as the Leader of the Majority Party exonerated the member of county assembly (MCA) who wrote those words, that is the deep thinking of a majority of men and even women. When I came to Parliament, it is not men who were talking evil of nominated women. It is the women. Let us not condemn men. Let us scrutinise ourselves, go beyond our boundaries and check what happened in America where the gender issue never arose anywhere when Kamala Harris was campaigning. They were campaigning with Trump at par. Let us respect our boundaries. Let us respect ourselves and be truthful to ourselves so that we can move this society to better life for ourselves, for both men and women. I wish Rehema Jaldesa and her team happy tidings as they run that Commission. As Parliament, let"
