    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not contribute. I rose on a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now, I want to formally rise to oppose this Motion. I want to oppose because with utmost respect to your ruling, I believe that the list is totally unconstitutional. Aluta continua for us, as women. The war will not end and we will not let it go at this point. We have fought the issue of gender equality. We have got this far with the principle and some numbers. We knew that the men would not take it lying down, but we, as women, will also take it standing. We are able to take 10 or 20 committees and serve diligently. None of us have complained. Some of us are already in so many committees. If you look at our attendance of the committees, we are doing well. The men who are only given one committee, many of them are actually flowering those committees. They do not attend. So, we perform excellently in the committees that we are put in, even when we are given leadership positions. So, we are the ones who should have complained. We are not complaining. This is an unconstitutional. We are setting a wrong precedence in this House. We do not expect, therefore, to hold other institutions in this country accountable if ourselves we cannot set a good standard. It is a sad moment for us. We are not deterred, but we will continue fighting. I oppose."
