    "content": "The first reason that I feel that this Bill should not be supported is the fact that there is a proposal to remove 47 women Members of the counties. I am the Member for Kandara Constituency and I have listened to various arguments. Some Members said that the women who were elected in the constituencies should not support the 47 women representatives. On the contrary, this is an affirmative action position. By virtue of Clause 11 of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, 47 women from the counties who sit in this House will not be here. We will create another 70 constituencies which, in all certainties, are likely to be occupied by men. There is the trend. Therefore, we have 47 women Members of Parliament who do not know right now which constituency they will vie for because where they are will be scrapped."
