    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to speak on this Report, and to appreciate the Committee, the President, and the former Prime Minister for agreeing that our country is greater than each one of us. I want us to appreciate the women of Kenya who made presentations. I appreciate the different clauses. Since a Senator’s term will now be seven years, it will cure the issue of one becoming a governor, serving for 10 years and then coming back as a Senator to look into his or her accounts, which is ethically wrong. I want to speak on the issue of the two-thirds gender rule. I appreciate what the Leader of the Minority Party and the Leader of the Majority Party said. They ensured that the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) recommended that we achieve the two-thirds gender rule. We have to get rid of the current confusion. The introduction of the Report is very clear that we presented our recommendations at Bomas. Thereafter, different groups came in. Multi-sectoral working groups made presentations based on a formula. Therefore, based on the goodwill of the President, the 13th Parliament will achieve the two-thirds gender rule. I plead with this House to adopt the multi-sectoral report that deals with the formula, if it is presented in this House. We have not seen the other reports on how we will ensure that the seven-year-term for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
