    "content": "There are gains that have been made in this country especially on matters governance. This particular Bill has worked very well especially when it comes to matters gender. The Bill is good on matters gender and recently when the country was looking for a Chief Justice, there was a proposition by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) that the Chief Justice be a woman. It is not in the woman that we are looking at the Chief Justice. We are looking at the qualifications of a person, a Kenyan. Kenyans went ahead to give a list of senior persons who are in the Judiciary. Very many women appeared in that list. I am also envisaging a situation where a time may come when, through an electoral process, we are going to have more women than men in Parliament. When it comes to a matter of two-thirds gender rule, it is not a matter of favouring women to come to Parliament. It is a matter of having a system in place that would guard against domination of a particular gender in a particular arm of Parliament, be it the Executive, Judiciary or Legislature. This has been covered very well in this particular proposal in the amendment of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
