• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: (b) in subsection (2) by deleting the word “two” and substituting therefor the word “five” immediately before the word “hundred”. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I was very honoured and privileged to meet some of the children. We have James whose name was Cynthia before she had an organ change. She was a head girl but she later turned out to be a man. Every time he goes to the bank to withdraw money, the police officers are called because of an error that was done when he was a child. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: We also met Kwamboka and several others. If we have time in future, it will be very good for parliamentarians to meet intersex people. It is one of the most hidden and kept issue in the country, and yet our census says that they are over 700,000. view

That is how we end up with a lot of accidents. As soon as a parent has a child whom she notices has two genitalia, she goes to a doctor who then decides to remove one. Based on many other genetics ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I can put it on record. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what I would actually do for purposes of moving forward - Hon. Nyikal sided with “medical geneticist” so that it refers specifically to that... However, because we are not likely to finish today, I will make further consultations because we have specialists, just to be sure that I get the right terminology.
