Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is why I also want to encourage my sisters in the same spirit and because it was very difficult for us women MPs in the 10th Parliament, where we were very few.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not saying that he has harassed me; he is trying, but failing miserably. When you have Hon. Millie, Hon. Gladys and Hon. Jennifer in the House, you cannot touch the women. We are doing an excellent job, but the measurement is in terms of qualitative and quantitative work. Show me any Committee that is doing the excellent work Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei is doing here. She is doing an excellent job. I plead with our women Members.

I encourage women MPs that we retreat and talk to each other in the background instead of calling Press conferences to attack one of our own. Let us continue with the excellent job we are doing in this House as women MPs. Let us not be distracted by men to take away the good work we are doing.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I need to get guidance from you. I thought we are going on recess on Thursday, but Members are busy wishing us merry Christmas today. Are they intending not to come to the House tomorrow or the day after? That is so that I know and give my merry Christmas wishes today.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted to get your direction. When you put the Question on the matter that just passed, Hon. Duale said “aye” and I said “nay” and you said the “ayes” have it. Is it because Hon. Duale’s voice is a bass and mine is a soprano? We need to know what guides in that case. Otherwise, that is discrimination based on gender and how shrill my voice is.
