    "content": " Mr. Muturi, as you proceed, I just want to have some sort of guided debate on this. As we make laws, we have to be serious about this. These are things that will affect our citizens for posterity. When you say 30 per cent gender parity-- - The other day, we had the Constitution (Amendment) Bill which did not pass in this House. It was requiring some gender distribution. At Clause 65B(2), it says:- \"For the purpose of the application of this Part, a public service authority is any body which is publicly funded in whole or in part, and whose functions are of a public nature, and includes- (a) the office of the Attorney-General; (b) all Government Ministries and Departments and any task force, committee or other body by whatever name known, stablished thereunder; (c) all state corporations; (d) the Parliamentary Service Commission; (e) the Judicial Service Commission; (f) the Teachers Service Commission; and (g) the Electoral Commission That, in my opinion, might include even the National Assembly. When you say that all these will be taken into consideration, including Clause 65C(2) which says:- \"Except as may be otherwise specifically provided, the gender action duty requires every public service authority, when carrying out its functions in relation to employment to- (b) ensure that not less than thirty per cent of all new employees recruited or appointed by the public service authority are women;\" are we going to contravene the Constitution somewhere? These are some of the issues we should be addressing!"
