    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to start my contribution by congratulating Ms. Karua for supporting men. This is not a contest between men and women. We must appreciate each other and work together. That is why I congratulate Ms. Karua for supporting men and I never regret supporting them. I have been supporting men and will continue to do so. That said and done; the issue we are debating is very serious and sensitive to the cause of women of this country. That is why it is in our Constitution. I have repeatedly mentioned that we are anchoring this Bill to the Constitution. If we do not take the principles that are laid down---Article 81(b) is very clear. We must find a way of putting that into this Bill. When we come here and talk about gender issues, people say that those are issues of discrimination. However, look at the limitation of rights. Even the Constitution has appreciated that there have been historical injustices. A certain group of people has been marginalized historically. There is a right to limit the rights. That is why we are saying this is in order. I support this amendment because we are limiting rights."
