    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to say that the role of the Women Representatives has also been ably recognized in this Board. As it is now, I know there is a Bill that our lady colleagues want to bring to this House and it is taking long to come. We want them to be significant and play a role at the county and constituency level. They will be in this Board as well. For them to be here, we shall know that they will now represent the interests of the women and the children. They will play an important role in social justice and that is why probably they are in this Parliament. This is an opportunity we cannot afford to loose. If you look at the representation in this Board, you will find nominated Members of Parliament and the Senate. The reason why we have nominated Members is to represent special interests. Therefore this Board will formulate special interests and people will know that whatever happens, there is a Board constituted that represents those interests. We do have the Leader of Majority Party and Leader of Minority Party. We do have counties, where the county assembly is composed of one party."
