    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. Allow me to thank the Committee that has worked tirelessly to investigate and set this woman free. I think this is a very hardworking lady. I have worked in the women’s movement and for most of us who have come from a women’s movement perspective, we know where we have come from. We are even struggling at this moment with the two-thirds gender rule. Wherever a woman is on top, there are usually masses of people who want to pull her down. I do not think that is fair. The Petitioner, in my view, owes this lady an apology for defamation. I feel that this is a lady who has worked tirelessly. She has worked in the Commission for a very long time. Most of us who have come from the women’s movement perspective know her. The women of this country have worked so hard to find themselves where they are. Therefore, any opportunity that presents itself for women, it should be supported. We are, at this moment, struggling very hard to see how we are going to approach the two- thirds gender rule in this country. When we see a lot of witch-hunt, which is what I am seeing for Mrs. Winfred Lichuma, I feel sorry about the direction in which this country is headed.
