    "content": "This Bill is important because it seeks to fast-track and advances the rights that women have obtained in the new Constitution so that, those rights may not only be observed, but also seen practically in this House. It seeks to clarify the misunderstood notion that the calculation of the extra women expected to be nominated into this House or whichever gender will be based on the 349 members. The calculation is based on the 290 members because, already, the 47 Members are affirmative action seats. You cannot calculate the gender parity rule on the basis of affirmative action. If you calculate the two-thirds, you will find that the number will be about 27 to 28 more Members; taking the House as it is at the moment. That number in terms of expenditure is not expensive. It is the least intrusive in terms of expenditure into our wage bill."
