Hon. Neto, clearly you do not believe in miracles. It is possible. This is the House of the people of Kenya and as we consider these amendments we are hopeful that we shall give justice to the women of Kenya. In that spirit, I would like to give this opportunity to Hon. Naomi Shaban, Member for Taveta.

Very well spoken. I just wish that Hon. Neto had listened more closely to what you were saying because you have spoken to the issue of the sunset period, for the provision we made for this particular Bill. Hon. Neto has difficulty with Swahili so I hope Hon. Okoth will be useful in explaining to him what Hon. Shaban has said in very lucid Swahili. Hon. Okoth, it is not your chance yet.

Hon. Gikaria, you have got no fear for the next Parliament in the event that they will have the same amount of time and the same provisions, they can put in place the necessary laws to bring these numbers into their constitutional consideration. I think we must give this our best shot as this Parliament and that is what we are doing now. We should not operate in fait accompli mode but we should be hopeful that we can do our best and come up with the law before we adjourn the House sine die . I know the next ...

Very well spoken, Member for Nambale. I would like us to proceed this way. I can see the Chair of the Committee that is really the mother of this amendment, Hon. Njoroge Baiya. I would like you to be the last person to speak to this, so that you can listen to what other Members are saying and in that way, you can speak to all matters they have spoken to. I will therefore allow Hon. Ken Okoth to speak and he will be followed by the Member for Butula and after he speaks, the Chair of the Committee will ...
