    "content": "We must remember some of the things that were raised in court concerning any effort to amend the Constitution of this country. That a few people cannot sit and out of their motion decide “you know what? We do not need the NGEC here. Let us put it here” and do not go back to the rationale and justification that was brought forth by the stakeholders that made that happen. So, unless we are involved, I wish to tell the Chair of the CIOC that “unless you involve the women of Kenya, unless you have a document to bring to us to show us that the NGEC has not performed as should and the reasons it may not have performed as it should, we are not going to board this bus. It is because this is a dangerous route. This will be dangerous for the women of this country. We will not allow it. So, I urge the Members of this House not to use economic sense to make a decision on a matter so critical for the women of this country. We keep asking this question: How come matters economic are brought forth when it comes to women but when we are dealing with other issues, including wasting money on things like the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), matters economic are never mentioned? So, on this one, I say a big “No”. I urge this House not to support this Bill. I ask the women in this House to come out and say “No”. The men who have supported matters gender, please, do not board this bus that has been boarded by one Hon. Sankok. We say a big “No”."
