When it comes to my bill, the chair and deputy are suddenly absent. I have been in this parliament for a long time, I know when we are filibustering.
The Suba North MP said.
Let my bill pass, we are the women, I am the one who does not give birth and would want to give birth. The honorable members who are delaying are going to make me have a child at 60, and I should have a child at 40. And harass me, I need to have a child, and I need a child now, and I need a law to enable me to have a child.
Millie Odhiambo added.
The Member of Parliament has been pushing for the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill and the Family Reproductive Health Care Bill 2022 after many failed attempts.
The Assisted Medical Reproduction, as proposed in the Bill involves using technology to achieve pregnancy.
The examples include intrauterine insemination, where sperm are placed in a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization.
