    "content": "The outcome of this process was the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. Several taskforces were set up. Meetings and dinners were held by the women caucus and the other players and this led to the outcome of the Bill before us this afternoon, which is the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No. 4) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2015) which was read on 30th July, 2015 noting that public participation and the 90 days deadline for constitutional Bills has now matured. What are the arguments before I go to the specifics of the Bill? This Bill is gender neutral. The perception out there is that we are legislating to comply with the two-thirds gender principle for women. Thirty to 40 years from now, there might be more women than men sitting in this House. The male gender might be the minority. What we have started this afternoon might also save the male gender. Let us not look at this Bill as a women affair."
