    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also mentioned Kakamega, which I believe you are a resident of but I thank you for letting me know. The Bill therefore seeks to unbundle the seats envisaged under Article 177(1)(c) of the Constitution as well as Section 7(1)(a) of the County Governments Act and Section 36(8) of the Elections Act. This is to ensure that PwDs across the country, the youth and marginalized groups get a chance to be nominated and represent their respective demographics. Madam Temporary Speaker, in light of the considerations, I have outlined at the background, allow me to highlight the salient features of the Bill. The Bill has only three simple clauses. Clause 2 seeks to amend Section 36 of the Elections Act to provide that a political party will be required to submit a list that includes two candidates representing the youth, two candidates representing marginalized groups and two candidates PwDs reflecting the number of wards in their respective counties."
