If you look at the 11th Parliament, you will find that the female Members representing constituencies virtually came from their places of birth. I do not know what the society is telling us. If you remember, Hon. Cecily Mbarire, it is her place of birth and my niece Hon. Millie Odhiambo had to come back to Suba to be elected. Look at our good Deputy Speaker. I do not want to speak more. I know the sky is the limit and we wish you well, but there is ... view
• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: In short I am saying that there are economic issues and barriers on the face of women as they seek elective leadership. There are also cultural issues which we need to deeply think about and deal with. There are cultural and societal idiosyncrasies about leadership and the role of women in leadership that we need to deal with. This is a solution.

• 24 May 2017 in National Assembly: I want to tell the women of Kenya out there that this is a great day for you. This is a day you should sit and implore each and every Member of Parliament representing you to be in the House when we need those numbers to pass this Bill so that we move forward.

Immediately we elect persons here, they will be representatives of Kenya to EALA. They will not represent Jubilee or CORD. I am picking from what Hon. Rasso was speaking to.
