Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with the Minister, save that, that is not the reason why I moved this amendment. As lawyers, we always want to be certain. So, where we have seen mischief in the past, we correct the mischief. So, it is not that I agree that, that was the correct position.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I wish to support the amendment, especially on Clause 3 which has to do with inclusion of children. I know it was forgotten. Even earlier today in the House, we had a situation where a Minister was actually alluding to children as being an appendage to adults. We know that children in their tender years need support and guidance but they are still human beings in their own rights. Therefore, whenever we create Ministries, we must acknowledge children as children and gender concerns to take care of women issues. I support the amendment.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I conclude by saying that I laud the Minister for a good Bill and for defining very categorically who a youth is, so that âYouth for KANU 1992â is no longer youth!

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was thinking I was not going to catch your eye that fast. Nonetheless, I would like to start by supporting this Motion. I want to congratulate the hon. Member for bringing such a Motion before this House. In supporting it, I want to indicate that herbal medicine is one of the most misunderstood concepts in this country. Even as I was coming here from one of the Committees, some of the hon. Members were joking and saying that I was part of the dying negative or retrogressive culture that still supports traditional concepts. Herbal ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I really did not want to contribute on gender, but I want to support the Mover and thank hon. Dr. Khalwale for the vote of confidence on women. I wish he had actualized it and moved an amendment that 50 per cent be women. Apart from that, I want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion. This is a very momentous time, for us as a country. Kenyans have been calling for a lean Cabinet and we have provided that.
