    "content": "It was deceit that we have not fixed the problem of two-thirds gender rule. The fact that it was downgraded to be taken to taskforce was a confirmation that nobody wanted it. Outside this negotiated process, which is political, you can never fix the two- thirds gender rule. It is a shame. I urge ourselves to reflect. Madam Temporary Speaker, I heard you when you were contributing saying that they should be given one week. They do not need a week. We just give them one hour to go and pray. After praying, they fix an addendum that the two-thirds gender rule has been agreed upon. End of the story. If you do not like the two-thirds gender rule, why are you using the current Constitution which provides for the same? This is my problem. We will move our country whether some people like it or not. I remember when I was a little boy at the University of Nairobi (UoN), we used to go to the great court and we would stand on a table and we would talk to nobody. We would talk just to the air that we would change this country and bring in multiparty democracy. We did. I, therefore, want to speak here and say whether some people in this country like it or not, two-third gender rule will be effected one day. It is a shame that we wasted hundreds of millions on a report that is disappointing. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
