    "content": "However, it is important that we see the spirit of this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill that seeks to ensure that we do not get young girls and women imagining that the only way they are going to get into positions of leadership is by nomination. As I say this, I seek to clarify the misinterpretation and perception out there. This Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill clearly indicates that as a country that has realised that there are challenges in the elections, intimidating language is used to discourage very capable stoic politicians from rising to be elected. I do not need to emphasise that we have very many cases as we talk about divisive politics and electoral violence. There are many women who do not rise to take up positions because they are discouraged by the kind of politics and sometimes the position others present before them."
