    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in the interest of peace with hon. Sophia, I withdraw and apologize. However, the point I am making is that we made a decision this morning. That decision was very clear. We agreed that it was impractical to do this for now, unless we have a constitutional amendment. For the information of the House, on behalf of Government, on Monday morning at 10.00 a.m., the Cabinet has called a special meeting to discuss the issue of how to work out these constitutional requirements, so that we align all our electoral processes with the new constitution. I would like to suggest that, instead of us attempting to mess up with a good law that we have just passed, let us collect all the views over the weekend. Then we process them through the normal consultative process and we come out here with a comprehensive constitutional amendment that will address the issue of how we achieve the one-third and two-third gender rule. It could be women or men. But let us not attempt to introduce that in this law. I beg to oppose."
