    "content": "said, “Give it to Mr. President when he comes.” Or let him stand there and let us see if the President will turn him away from transmitting his views. I found that he got into judicial activism – something I do not know Hon. Maraga for. Hon. Maraga is a Judge of the pen. Hon. Mutunga would have been a different cut. However, remember he is the one who dissented in the opinion about this because he knew the impossibility of implementing this kind of a thing. Hon. Speaker, I want to suggest that our colleagues of the other gender should suffer a little bit. Let me use an example from this gender that ate the apple; the forbidden fruit in the Bible. Let me touch on this gender. The other gender will give me a lot of problems if I touch on them. If we went by what is being said and increase the number of elected Members from 290 to achieve the two-thirds gender rule, we will have 100 more people in this House. For example, assuming that it was men who were agitating for the two-thirds gender rule, we would be having 100 more men in this House. Now, all these 100 more people in this House will have a vote. So, you are here, as elected Members, making a decision because you have the power from the people, but there are 100 more people there who are from nowhere – some busybodies – and have more powers than you have. The other House is even protected by the Constitution because the head of the delegation has a vote. So, how can you implement this kind of thing by bringing 100 more people here, give them weight and then they become the deciders on issues yet the people who have been elected cannot have the same privilege."
