    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I also wish to congratulate all the people who were elected and nominated to the Eleventh Parliament to various capacities. Moreso, I wish to thank my party, the Wiper Democratic Party for having nominated me as a Senator. A lot has been spoken. I will be very brief. Although some areas of the President’s Speech have been highlighted, when the President started his speech I was very happy when I heard him congratulating the record number of women in both Houses. I expected to hear how he was going to uphold the affirmative action which is enshrined in the Constitution and which, as you all know, the Attorney-General went to the Supreme Court and obtained an advisory opinion and to the disappointment of many women in this country, the Supreme Court held that the affirmative action was not going to be realized in all the elective positions by 2013 but progressively by 2015. To be precise, it was the Supreme Court Advisory Opinion Application No.2 of 2012. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
