    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to rise to support this Report. However, how can I support a Report that does not recognize me as a woman? The National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) was there to facilitate dialogue between Kenyans; two different parties of Kenyans. Are we trying to say that each and every single matter that touches on representation and empowerment of women, which is in this Report, we are being told go back, sit, drink tea, and then come back? Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been joking around with this issue of the two-thirds gender rule. I hear my colleagues talking about the cost of living. Is it only men who are affected by the cost of living? When we had demonstrations in the streets, when the ODM went to the streets and said we are going to demonstrate until we have a national dialogue between whoever needs to talk, was ODM telling us that that dialogue was only for men? On the issues that touch on women, they have Committee Members who might have worked very hard. I do not know because for me I cannot read anything else when the first thing that is highlighted is that on the issue of the two-thirds gender rule, we are not going to discuss it. They should go and then come back."
