Ms Odhiambo, a lawyer by profession, has been struggling to have children for years now, forcing her to look for alternative methods to achieve her dreams.

In an interview on Wednesday, Ms Odhiambo confirmed that she has sponsored a bill in Parliament that would legally assist women suffering from her condition to get children of their own.

"I actually have a bill in Parliament called Assisted Reproduction Technology's Bill and I am at a good place to know because I do not have a child myself naturally. Should I chose that I go through assisted reproduction, I am waiting up to December to make that decision," she said.

"Fortunately, God created me well, I feel complete even with or without a child. I have raised many children and I don't consider myself any less because I don't have a child. I have never cried that I don't have a child but some do."

Cases of women struggling to get children of their own are common in Kenya. Unfortunately, the law does not recognize surrogacy, at times making it difficult for them.

Former Taita Woman Representative Joyce Lay also at some point opened about her difficulty in getting children while contributing towards IVF bill in Parliament.

"That is the pain of a woman, you stay for years knowing that you are okay because you are not born barren, and then all of a sudden, because of complications you get devastating information that you can henceforth not conceive,” she said.

Ms Lay recounted the trauma she suffered after going through hysterectomy – loosing her uterus in the procedure.

“I went through hysterectomy and lost my uterus. I had to get my baby through a surrogate mother so I went through the IVF process,” she said.
