    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Motion that was moved by Sen. Ongoro is extremely important. I would like to draw the attention of the House to the Motion because few have been debating on many things and I am sure that by now, the House must have lost the substance of the Motion. Let me just read it for the sake of refreshing our memory. THAT, AWARE that the Parliament of Kenya is an active member of the Inter- Parliamentary Union (IPU) which is the international organisation of national Parliaments; FURTHER AWARE that the IPU provides support to Parliaments in areas such as law and policy-making, as well as representation; NOTING WITH APPRECIATION that, upon a request by the Speaker of the Senate, the IPU sent an expert delegation to Kenya from 12th to 16th July, 2015 to offer advice on the way forward in implementing the constitutional requirement on the two thirds gender rule; NOW THEREFORE, the Senate notes the Report of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Expert Mission to Kenya on the framework to implement the constitutional provision of the two-thirds gender rule laid on the Table of the Senate on Thursday, 8th October, 2015 and extends its appreciation to the IPU for support on the matter. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the House to this report so that we may discuss its substance. The issue of the two-thirds gender rule The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
