    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House that what is being proposed is unconstitutional? Because of lack of time, I would not be able to find for you all the articles, but I want to read for you an example. The preamble says: “Recognizing the Aspirations of Kenyans for a Government based on among other things human rights equality.” That is a constitutional language. I would like to look at Article 27 on Equality and Freedom from Discrimination. It has some clauses from 1 up to 5. Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all rights and fundamental freedoms. Every person is equal before the law. He has the right to equal protection of the law. Women and men have the right to equal treatment including the right to equal opportunities in political, economic, cultural and social spheres. So, when you have one-third is when you are looking at affirmative action. However, the ideal is equality constitutionally."
