    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to explain to my good friend, Hon. Millie, that when this list was being prepared, it was being done proportionately. Since the Jubilee side had more numbers, they were to bring in 12 Members and we, from CORD, brought in seven Members. Statistics do not lie. We can have narratives, but it is also good to look at the numbers. We have 19 Members in the CDF Committee. We have 290 constituencies. The elected women Members who won in the constituencies are 16. If you use simple mathematics, 16 out of 290 multiply by 10 will be equal to one position. It was worked out proportionately. That is why we had one Member of Parliament from Ruiru. It is because of the numbers. As you had clearly put it, it was as practical as possible. We did it in a proportionate manner. Hon. Millie Odhiambo, with all due respect, should understand that it was because of the numbers. I am requesting Hon. Members that we pass this with speed because time is flying. Let us support and pass this list. As I speak, so many projects have stalled. Some Form One students are waiting for school fees, which they have not received. I humbly request that we pass this list, so that the Committee can start working. Hon. Speaker, please put the Question."
