Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to agree with my colleagues. When I saw our names in the media, I thought it was a stale story because we are the same Members who sat in the other Committee. In that Committee, we recommended that other Members be put in place to move and drive the agenda forward. I also agree that it is important that Members be consulted before they are put in any select Committee.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to also contribute to this very important Motion. I have not risen because I am a woman, but because I am a strong believer of gender equality, not just in this country but in the whole world. I also thank and congratulate you for tabling this Motion as our Kenya Women Senators Association (KEWOSA) Chairperson. For those who do not know, KEWOSA is an association that brings us together as women Senators. Thank you very much for taking that up.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to raise the fact that Sen. Boy Juma Boy was seated on this side.

Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support. On the onset, I would like to really commend and thank Sen. Musila for this very important Bill, for his consistence and for pushing to ensure that this becomes a law. I was a bit sad because it is something we had discussed. When I was a reporter we covered Sen. Musila pushing for it from 2007. We even passed it as a Motion in this House.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I know speaking after Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, a medical practitioner, is not very easy. First, I would like to commend Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o for bringing this very important Motion before this House. I also congratulate Sen. Harold Kipchumba who was one of us in this House for the exemplary work that he has done and continues to do until he has been recognised as the 2015 UN Kenya Person of the Year. I would like to thank Sen. Mutahi Kagwe for what he said, that it is not very often that we celebrate the ...
