"content": "other hand, when you are nominated that value addition to the electorate will not be there because you are just nominated by a party and the most you can do is to be loyal to that party. The larger womenfolk of this country will not feel any service from you because you will not be answerable to them but your party. Achieving the two-thirds gender rule in the House is not enough. Let the two- thirds be by people who actually have that mandate and will improve the welfare of the gender they are representing. I thought the issue of Women Representatives in county assemblies was a better way to go. Madam Temporary Speaker, if the issue was women competing with men because the political environment has always been seen to be a problem, then creating seats like the Women Representative will have them compete among themselves. Once they are in Parliament, they are representing their electorate. That way, we will minimize and move out of this issue of nomination. In any case, the Constitution still puts a succinct Clause on that. So, what happens after that? have you prepared that affected gender to be able to participate in competitive elections after the 20 years? You must have a way of engaging. It would be better if it were the Women Representative type and then improve. Even if the number was increased, then it would be better."
