    "content": " Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating this House for this historic moment, but more importantly, to add the congratulations to hon. Kapondi. It took a man to bring this matter to the Floor of the House, notwithstanding the fact that we have a fair representation of lady Members in this House. But it took the courage of a man to come and fight for our girls. I want to recognize that fact. It just goes to show that men are very sensitive to issues that relate to their daughters, wives and sisters. The fact that we have so many men in this House does not mean that women issues are not being addressed. I was very happy to note that even as we deliberated this matter in Second Reading and the Committee of the whole House, the number of men who contributed on this Bill by far exceeded the women hon. Members. I am also very happy that at last, we have shown that the men do care about the women; at times even exceedingly more than what would be brought in through the one-third principle which we are also looking at favourably Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
