body which brought in Mr. Chebukati and his team. The Constitution is the one that has put IEBC into place. Why do you want to micro-manage the IEBC and yet you are a candidate yourself? What if the other candidate says the same thing? Are we going to take this country anywhere? We will be taking the country to the dogs. It is my humble request to our opponents… I used to be there but it was not very good and that is why I moved out. They never compromise and there is somebody there who feels that he is ...

Therefore, Hon. Speaker, I strongly support the Motion. Let our brothers and sisters in NASA not just follow their master blindly. This country does not belong to one person; it belongs to all of us. We are worried. We are not happy, but we will not let it go. I pray for peace to prevail in this country and those who think we will go otherwise are mistaken. They are wrong.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First and foremost, I rise to support the Bill and congratulate the drafter of the Bill, Hon. Sabina Chege of Murang’a County. I know she came up with this one because she is a candidate to this effect. I fully agree with the Bill. We are told by medics that mothers should breastfeed children for many months. There are those mothers who breastfeed for over one year. Therefore, this basic right of a child should not be denied simply because the mother is working. Mothers ...

institution should have. Work places must also know the number of, say, tables or beds they need in order to fulfil this requirement of the law. For instance, here in Parliament, how many ladies with babies do we have? If it is a school, the number of lady teachers should also be known. This will help in planning. Therefore, the Bill should spell out the requirement that establishments need to provide for facilities that are adequate. In that case, it would be a watertight law and establishment would be bound to provide adequate nursing spaces for breastfeeding mothers. There is ...
