    "content": "affirmative action was implemented and we have seen our girls doing exemplarily in universities once they are given that opportunity. We are not saying that girls or women are incapable. We are only saying that we have to agree that there are challenges and that we put an equal playing ground for both gender. I know for a long time, it has also been said that you have talked so much about women and very soon, boys will be endangered. That is what we are seeing. So, we should not also forget one gender as we move with one. We have to move with both. We should also see the contributions that both genders make to our society. We have seen women do exemplary work; those who are in leadership and those who are not. We know the work that hon. Jebii Kilimo has done in Elgeyo-Marakwet. Peace was restored there after what she did. She was very articulate and continues to be on issues of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).We know the kind of work that even women who are not in that position have continued to do. Madam Temporary Speaker, so that I can give my colleagues time to contribute, I would like to congratulate you for moving this Motion. I urge the entire House to continue with the same spirit even as we continue to debate and discuss issues to do with two-thirds gender rule so that, finally, we can actualize it and move forward as a country."
