    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to express my submissions on this Bill. I start by thanking the sponsors of this Bill through the ‘Handshake’. We now have many of the awaited fruits that we have been yearning for. In the same tune, I would like to thank the Joint Committee that submitted its Report through its Co-Chair, Sen. Omogeni. To start with, I will touch on a few issues on the Bill. I will talk about the creation of the new 70 constituencies, the gender issue, the role of the Senate; where we are now and how it is in the current Constitution, and where this Bill will take it. I will also talk about devolution and funding, the increase of resources in the counties, especially the Ward Development Fund and the gains for the youth and the marginalized in other submissions that I will do. I will not evade talking about corruption, which I like talking about as a topic. Let me start with the issue of the two-thirds gender in this country---"
