Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I would request that using your discretion under Standing Order No. 1 that you extend the time by three minutes. Having said that, I congratulate Hon. Sabina Chege for bringing this Bill. It is a testimony to the fact that we did not do wrong by supporting the position of the 47 women elected in our counties.

can see male Members of Parliament are opposed to this Breastfeeding Mothers Bill. They want it to be a Breastfeeding Fathers Bill. I would suggest that Hon. Ichung’wah be the first breastfeeding father when this Bill passes because I know it is going to pass. In the same spirit, Hon. Gikaria was concerned that he will not have another child because of his age. I am going to have my first baby after 50 years. With technology, you can do so much. So, I will also be a beneficiary since I am coming back to this Parliament. That will happen ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. If you listened carefully to Hon. Ken Okoth, he was not just raising a concern, but he imputed improper motives on the Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade.

That is a very serious allegation and if it is left, it casts aspersions on the integrity of Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade.
