Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, can you protect me from this neighbourhood? My neighbourhood is disrupting me.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first and foremost, as outlined and as expected, the Committee went round the country. You can see from the outcome of that exercise, the opinion of the people out there, which made us come here. Ninety per cent agreed to change the date from August to December. Those of us, who have voted at least three times, know that December has a very good voter turnout. Mostly, people vote because they are at home. As you know, in August people will mostly be working. It is inconveniencing for families to leave Nairobi, Mombasa and even overseas ...

In my constituency, two trucks got stuck on the road with the election materials until around 10.00 p.m. We had to send tractors to pull them out.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, next time I will not be sitting here because this Mheshimiwa is very loud. He does not consult in low tones. Fourthly, Hon. Oluoch talked about having two different elections separately, where we would have Members of Parliament, members of county assembly and governors being elected in December and the president being elected on another date. It becomes very difficult. If the presidential election is conducted in August and the elections for members of parliament, members of county assembly and governors are conducted in December, whoever will have been elected president would have influence on those ...

Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I have been sitting here because I wanted to listen. I challenged Hon. Wahome when she came over here that ladies are their own enemies. When she was moving this very important Report, I only saw three Members of Parliament of the opposite sex. You can see for yourself, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker that, in fact, there are more men in the House than ladies, who should have helped us to advance this Report. I have four daughters who I want to benefit from this. This is a very ...

As I support the Report, I want to speak my mind. We have a court case on gender equality filed by the civil society, which are busy bodies, and any time, this House can be dissolved because of that case. That is why I am concerned about this Report. That is why it is important that we look at it in relation to posterity.

The Report is okay, but I want to pose a question, but Hon. Kiuna and Hon. Nyikal have left. I wish we would have had five or 10 male Members on the trip to New York to convince us. I would not have gone. Let the ladies try to advance their case. It will be supported. That is something to note. Apart from the case in court, I challenge the ladies. We have done much. In the Arab world, we read in the media - and I have been to Dubai - that ladies are not allowed even to drive. ...
