    "content": "I encourage the Members who always harass us about National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) and two-thirds gender rule to participate. If you are not heard in this House, where do you want to be represented? We are about to get to the Committee of the whole House. You can almost count the number of Members from 47 Women Representatives who are here. There was a proposal to even add more women. If you do not pay attention to the Finance Bill... You should be here saying that businesses which are owned by women should be exempted from certain taxes. Where are the Members? This reminds me of an argument which was very strongly advanced between 2010 and 2011 by the grandfather of the House. He was not in the House at that time. He was sitting in a committee that was looking at the proposed 47 Women Representatives. This was immediately after the Constitution was adopted. The Member for Kitutu Chache North argued that those 47 slots should not be exclusive to women. He argued that he is a very good representative of women. I agree with him now because he has come here to represent them."
