    "content": "various stages. I have actually approved some and they are either at the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, or the drafting section within Parliament. In light of the judgment by the Court of Appeal, and we do not need to look at the judgment of the High Court when there is the judgment of the Court of Appeal,... This is for purposes of convenience and even to appreciate where we are at. It is just the place of those Bills relative to that judgment and also whether the House and the committees should continue considering those Bills and legislative proposals as the case may be depending on where they are. One of those Bills was by Hon. Florence Mutua that the House was debating just the other day before we went on recess. Was it about the two-thirds gender principle? There was another one by Hon. Shollei that sought to increase the number of women to 136. Some of you who came in late may have been carried away thinking that that is part of the basic structure of the issue that Hon. Duale raised. You need to note that it is in relation to the ruling of the court. Where do we stand? Can we, as a House, continue with those Bills or do we stop and await further guidance? I will be making a ruling on that. It is important that I was able to hear many ideas, including some which may not have been very useful."
