Yes, it is me. Your hair is covering your entire face. (Laughter) Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Gender-based violence has been with us for years, from time immemorial.

Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Amendment Bill because it is good for the country. If planting of eucalyptus trees is one of the causes that affect our water, it is better to sacrifice and ban them, especially along the rivers...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. This is a wonderful Bill. We congratulate Hon. Owino for bringing it here. Healthcare in this country is wanting. It is very weak. We complain so many times that it is not managed properly. But this is a...
