    "content": "“the number of special seat members necessary to ensure that no more than two- thirds of the membership of the assembly are of the same gender.” That gives you room to do the arithmetic we were doing. So, the National Assembly must address itself to that factor. Otherwise, we will be living at the mercy of anybody who may at the end of this year say: “This Parliament is unconstitutional.” A whole Cabinet committee with Ministers who were lawyers had difficulty with it. So, we need to address it. The only thing is that one would have thought the court would have gone to---- the part of the Constitution that accepts progressive achievement of the two- thirds gender rule. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
