    "content": "and forth on this matter. We do not have enough magistrates, support staff and Court of Appeal judges. The entire justice sector needs adequate funding so that it can fully implement the spirit of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. It is also quite unfortunate to note that the County Women Representatives have no increase whatsoever and yet, I have seen an increment for single member constituencies. County Women Representatives work with a budget of Ksh9 million per constituency. It includes administration and emergency funds for the Board. We are also supposed to undertake programmes that cater for women, persons with disabilities and a large section of our youth. Honestly speaking, it is very unfortunate. This House must collectively support County Women Representatives, so that they can execute their mandate as per the Constitution, 2010. I know we have many HeForShe here because the male Members of this House support County Women Representatives. They supported us when we were angling for sanitary towels for our girls. I kindly and humbly request them to also support us, when it comes to budget allocation. This will help us execute our mandate and represent the women, people living with disabilities and the youth."
