    "content": "I am corrected that they are called “female”, but they are also called “women”. I do not need this assistance from Hon. Kajuju. The word “woman” is still contained in the Bible and Quran as a correct terminology that is rightly used. For instance, my county assembly has only three elected MCAs and 15 nominated MCAs. All the three got positions as vice-chairpersons of the various committees because the assembly was dominated by men. So, they were given those positions like sweets. In terms of numbers, they were not there, but when the nominated MCAs joined them after about three sittings, they found that all the positions had been taken by men. If you remember, one of the hue and cry of the county assemblies at that time was that there must be fresh elections of the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of those committees. The men refused and stated that elections had already been held. They said that the status quo must prevail and the women should wait until 2017.
