They go straight to save the woman’s life. This is the way it has got to be whether it is in law or not. That is what happens. So, I want to oppose the Attorney-General’s amendment and support what hon. Mugo has proposed. view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to apologise that the hon. Member has not been given a written answer. Maybe, after I have answered, I will give him a copy.
