I would like to congratulate the Mover for thinking about the welfare and plight of Kenyans. This way, we should be able to address quite a number of basic problems facing Kenyans.

• 11 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very important Bill. I think the publication of this Bill makes a lot of things clear. This is particularly when you look at the definition of gender. For many of us, we kept thinking that gender only meant women. I like this because it talks mainly about the social definition of women and men among different communities, cultures, classes, ages and during different periods in history. The mainstreaming also talks about many things like budgeting and so on. I want to commend the new Constitution which has now been able ... view
