    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I am talking about. They are not taking their work seriously. As the Vice-Chair of the Constitutional Implementation Commission, we have actually given a notice that we will bring more Bills to this House for enactment. I want to remind the Leader of Government business that the Bills are not over. You are only talking of the ones in the schedules. We still have a lot of Bills that we need for effective transition. We still have the one on the one-third gender rule, which is not yet before the House. So, please, note that if you do not bring them, we will bring them. We will not wait for you to bring them, so that we pass things which ordinarily we would not pass. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to thank myself for keeping the hon. Members on check. I am told there are Members who were not here yesterday but came today because I was “bringing baby back home.” Since they were panicking that hon. Millie was “bringing baby back home,” they were all worried and came back. “Come baby come.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is one thing that we do excellent in this House is that whenever we are passing any laws, I have often observed – and I am saying this without prejudice – that many times we take certain positions. It will be along party, regional and sometimes religious lines. But I am always amazed that if there is one thing that all the men take one position on, it is on the issue of women."
