Hon. Cynthia Muge (Nandi County, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I support the inclusion of the word “authorised”. As it was, “any” was very dangerous because “any” means anything or anyone.

Removing those words ensures accountability. If you commit the offence, you are guilty and must be punished. This is a delicate matter. The Temporary Chairlady...

Hon. Cynthia Muge (Nandi County, UDA) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I definitely support the new clause. There were concerns regarding provision (c) , which states that the parent should be below the age of 55 years. I support this with every part of me because parenting is not an easy job;...

Hon. Cynthia Muge (Nandi County, UDA) I resisted when this proposal was put forward previously because I thought it wanted you to predetermine what you want to get. Looking at a number of people born with sickle cell anaemia, you do not want to undertake such risk when seeking surrogacy....
