    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this. I wish to support sentiments by previous speakers, but wish to point out a very important issue when it comes to the Preliminary Objection Motion on the threshold. I would like to point out that in the past, when the threshold has been about gender, the math to round off to below the figure has sufficed. A point to demonstrate this is the County Assembly of Kericho. I wish to call upon our colleagues, to take note that the Kericho County Assembly has 47 Members, but only 16 are women. So, even as you make a decision, depending on what decision you make, we may have to nominate one more. I also wish to point out that in the bundle of evidence by the governor's team, they indicate that the Speaker was appointed by 31 votes to 16. It is something that you need to take note of. Thirdly, take note that the first Supreme Court of Kenya was not nullified, on the basis of the two-thirds gender rule. In fact, it was rounded off and actually allowed to sit, even though it had not reached the threshold of two-thirds gender. So please consider all these and let us not, when it is a gender issue, conveniently round it off the other way, but not on the other---"
