I am talking this from experience. I am a former Permanent Secretary and my office was open.

I know, he was my colleague and my office was open for access to any information. So when I cannot reach a Cabinet Secretary or a Principal Secretary, I do not understand where we are going to. They have become like mountains which I cannot climb and I am too short, how will I reach there. I stand guided.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. In 2010, Kenya enacted the Constitution with the two-thirds gender rule enshrined. Time has come for us to actualise the vision of the Constitution. I am told by a lady colleague that they are 91 ladies in Parliament including the CWRs. If you take 30 per cent of the total number of Members, we only need 140 female Members. Therefore, topping up is not a tall order. I love women.

If you want anything sweet, look for it in women and you will find it there. That includes my colleague here. I have been feeling warm since I sat here. Therefore, that is why I have risen to support the Bill.

I am describing why I support the Bill. I love the party leader of the Wiper Democratic Movement, the party that brought me here. I also love my President, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta. Since the two have spoken and the National Super Alliance (NASA) principals have all spoken in support of this Bill, who am I to say no?

So, I rise with all my body, as Babu Owino has said, and all my organs to support the Bill. Women are very important in society and it has been said many times. They carry us for nine months, give birth to us, sometimes with a lot of difficulties and pain, breast feed us and take care of our homes. They even cook for us. Some of these ladies here cook for their husbands. Therefore, these are very important people and we must support them.
