    "content": "Women are always discriminated against either because of their gender, where they got married or how they dress. The lady who was in second position hails from the Kalenjin Community; she could not be given the position because Mr. Kimaiyo, the IG, is also from the same community. We need to be fair on the basis of merit. If there is a female police officer who can rise to the position of the IG or deputy IG, then she should not be dropped in favour of a man, if everything is about community balancing. Once in a while, community balance can also involve women. Today, you suggest that you want to take away that particular provision because we have no women police officers qualified; this would be a shame in this country. I have mentioned a few proposed amendments and there are many more. I just want to put it on record that unless that amendment is withdrawn by the Leader of Majority Party, we will be saying that we have no confidence in these amendments and their sincerity. We cannot claw back at gains that have been made over the years by women in this country. I will support this Bill only if the Leader of Majority Party withdraws this draconian amendment. Thank you, Sir."
