    "content": "Contrary to what has been focussed on, that we are going to have a bloated Parliament, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 seeks to have women brought to Parliament as top-ups. It isolates political parties as a very important route in this regard. In the morning, our colleague, Hon. Mose, indicated that we would not want to force political parties to get women to positions they are not. If we look at the statistics and pick any political party, we will find that the gender that will be represented more, if one is looking for gender, is likely to be the female gender. The only challenge is that as a result of discrimination and many other issues, they tend not to rise to run for office."
