"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would also like to comment on the two-thirds Gender Bill. This is a Bill that has come a long way and it should have been passed as early as the 11th Parliament. It is something that has been dilly-dallied for long. Whatever the circumstances, let us first actualise it and if there are any regulations that need to be sorted out, then we can start working on them once we start. Gender is about both male and female. Today, we lack enough women in positions and so we must first create a balance. There is a Member who has insisted that this might not be practical. I am just wondering if it was possible in other African countries and Parliaments, why not in Kenya? It is high time we stopped dilly-dallying and make this two-thirds gender Bill rest its case by actualising it in practice. Before I sit down, let me comment on the Cabinet Secretaries appearing before the Floor of the House."
