    "content": "We nominated 16 people through this gender rule and activism while making the Constitution. We have become the laughing stock of everybody in this world. First of all, the nomination of membership in any part of the world is not to cover representation. It is supposed to cover areas that could not otherwise be filled by a normal electoral process, very small areas. If you look at our Senate today, you will find that we are electing 47 Members and nominating almost 20 Members; almost 50 per cent of our Senate is nominated. What sense does that make? If you look at the County Assembly of Samburu today, you will find that we only have 15 wards but we have nominated 11 people. What is the purpose of going to elections in Samburu? Why not just nominate everybody? It tells you that the people who were making this Constitution were so much into gender. They actually lost track of who is marginalised in this country."
