According to the Kenyan Parliament’s house rules, “strangers” are not allowed into the chamber, children included. Hassan demanded that parliament should create a more “family-friendly atmosphere” if it wanted more women to become MPs. She said: > I have tried hard not to come with the baby, but today I had an emergency; what was I supposed to do? If parliament had a nursery or a creche, I would be able to put my baby there. Deputy Speaker Moses Cheboi said in a statement that there is a facility in parliament for mothers to nurse their babies. He, however, added that nursing mothers should: > … bring along their nannies to watch over the babies at the facility while they undertake their official duties. The BBC News report says that: > in 2018 New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden was the first female world leader to take her baby, three-month-old Neve Te Aroha, to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. *More: BBC News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
