Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, because the systems are not working, I could not be seen when I was pressing the intervention button to support our Lady Justice. We are now not even able to participate. I do not know how we are supposed to proceed. Are we going to hasten the repair of the system?

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I vehemently oppose this Bill. First of all, I want to acknowledge Hon. Kajwang’ who has indicated that we are relatives. That is actually true. His father is what I call in Luo “ NyathiNyaguowa” . We share a common grandmother. I am, therefore, horrified that while he has exhibited intelligence in the past, today something has gone amiss.

We never agreed on progression. We also did not talk about “progressive”. I would be willing to bet my life on this if we brought the copy of the HANSARD Report. Martha Karua, Charity Ngilu, Sally Kosgei and I were vehement. We created a commotion in that house. We almost jumped on the tables when they were denying us the 47 County Women Representatives. I ...

homes but when there is a paid job they give it a fancy name like “chief chef” and then take up the job. Suddenly, culture does not matter. You all become chief chefs and take women away from the kitchen. We will not allow such things. We have been at it for too long. We will not allow the intimidation by my brother, Hon. Midiwo. Finally, I want to compare Kenya with her peers because Hon. Duale told us to do so. I am called to advise many parliaments. Two weeks ago, I was called to advise the Mauritius Parliament ...
