    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while I agree that we need to take into consideration even what the President has been saying, we must also be very careful not to make some contradictory laws that will bring confusion at the end of the day to the Boards that we are trying to assist and for the individuals who will be applying them. For example, if you say that this applies to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), how many teachers do we have? How many are we going to employ when that situation comes and here is this particular kind of law? I think it is going to confuse! If we are making law, we must make laws which are applicable, can work and which will not bring complications to the Boards that are supposed to be employing people. Although they are giving a remedy, it will continue bringing more and more confusion. So, my position is that we must make this into law. I oppose this amendment because I do not see the actual application of this particular law when it comes to the real thing. We will be confusing the Boards and they will not even understand. In any case, sometimes, it is 30 per cent of women. For instance, with teachers, it is more than 70 per or almost 50 per cent of women against men. Are we now going to change the same laws? Let us make a law that would apply to everybody and which is implementable by the Board. In any case, it will also apply to Parliament. How are you going to implement it in Parliament? I do not think it will work. I oppose and I think we should oppose it."
