    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join my colleagues in congratulating the new Senator for Machakos, Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I congratulate her for being elected the Senator for Machakos. I also congratulate the people of Machakos for electing her and for that matter, electing a woman. In fact, in this country, we should do away with tokenism for women where women are only nominated because women can be elected on their own. Parties in this country must nominate women and field them as candidates for elections. If you look at the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill 2020, I think we are making ground for nominations instead of making ground for women to be elected to Parliament. We are doing away with the 47 women representatives in the National Assembly and subjecting women to be nominated at the behest of parties and party leaders. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
