    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, women representation in Parliament is an issue that is usually taken very seriously at the IPU Conference. Members of our delegation were so much worried that maybe our country had not attainted the representation for women that would be required and be at par with other countries. A country like Rwanda that has just come from the brink of war, has more than 50 per cent female representation in their parliament. We have less than ten per cent just because, maybe we, do not have an affirmative action for women. They are not able to fight for political representation like men. The member states of IPU were urged that at least they should effect some ways and means of ensuring that disadvantaged communities or groups are catered for, so that they are represented in national parliaments. These were issues that were discussed at length at the IPU Conference. Maybe, Members of Parliament would like to acquaint themselves with those deliberations. So, as we go to the conferences, we should domesticate the issues that were discussed in the conferences at our national levels or parliament."
