    "content": "to the gender representation, we would not be as effective as we have been. We have been marginalised for a long time. These Standing Orders took on board literally all recommendations that were given by the KEWOPA. Without the support of the KEWOPA, members who we call “our Members” even if they are not from our gender, especially Mr. Ethuro’s region, would not be today confident as Members of Parliament. Our representation has been taken on board. We will be able to Chair Committee and be represented in all powerful Committees. Thanks to the new Constitution; a minimum of 47 women will be in this Parliament and another 22 women who are currently sitting in this Parliament will be back in this Parliament. We are hoping that the two Alliances that are all over the country looking for votes are also doing affirmative action in their nominations to ensure that strong women in their strong regions are also elected. Without these Standing Orders looking into that issue, we would not be confident. Therefore, we want to thank you as the Chair and thank the Members of the Standing Committee and also thank KEWOPA who took time to give their recommendations to the Committee. With those few remarks, I support."
