    "content": "I would like to proceed by saying that equality of opportunity in decision-making is a very important fact for us moving forward. So, to have governors with deputies of the opposite gender is like bringing both your players to the team on a fifty-fifty basis. That is bringing everybody onto the team. To have a Senate that has a fifty-fifty gender balance is like bringing both teams to the field so that you can score perfect goals. That is where Kenya is going. As we debate this national gender policy, we hope, as we move forward, that the question of whether the two-thirds gender rule is observed will cease to be there. We will now have the question of the quality of people, that is, men and women that, we will bring to perform tasks within this Assembly and in all our structures of Government. So, we hope that this is the last time we have this debate. Kenyans will continue to elect both genders so that our field is leveled. With those many remarks, I support this policy."
