"content": "When it comes to the Senate Oversight Fund, it is a very important Fund that the Senators must oversee the billions of shillings that are devolved across various governments in the country. This is very important, but the only area that I do not agree with, which I have been very forthright on even from the previous Parliament, is forcing people to elect the numbers of a particular gender when it comes to elective positions. I have always been of the view that the issue of two-thirds gender rule be excluded from elective positions because you cannot force the people of Kimilili Constituency to elect a man or a woman. They will elect a person who will appear to have a superior plan on their behalf. I have always looked at female Members of Parliament as Members who are competent enough to articulate issues that affect the children of this country."
