    "content": "This is something which is not taken seriously by the Executive, although the political parties have some entitlement and commitments. However, they are unable to meet those commitments because funds are not disbursed to them on time. This is an issue which I hope the recommendations in this Report will improve and something will be done to it. On the issue of gender, I have heard women very bitter about the issue of gender. The issue of gender is very sensitive. However, it is something that has been with us since I joined Parliament in 1994. There was a time in 1994 when if you mentioned gender, people would just scorn you. However, we have come a long way. There is just a small thing remaining to achieve this thing of two-thirds gender. I hope that we will do something. I am very frustrated that we have not been able to achieve this two-thirds gender rule. When I was in the National Assembly, sometimes, we would get so frustrated. When it came to voting on this two-thirds gender rule, you would see men walking out one by one until you just found a few of us remaining to vote with the ladies."
