    "content": "that the reality on the ground is that women are at the core of water use and management. Where we have droughts hitting our communities, and where we have people suffering for lack of water, women suffer a double blow because of their critical role in the food production sector in this country, and also in taking care of their families. I will, therefore, be looking out for a requirement that in each of the institutions that we are creating in this particular Bill, we will have an express provision to make sure that the constitutional requirement for the two-thirds is adhered to. This will help us as we begin to make sure that we operationalise the constitutional provisions, which require us to make sure that not more than two-thirds of any appointive or elective body in this country are of the same gender. It is an issue of development for this country and not a women issue that we always want to trivialise. It is an issue of development and ensuring that every Kenyan gets an equal opportunity to participate and to benefit from all the development initiatives in this country. With those few remarks, I support."
