    "content": "is no reason why this rule should not be applied to the two Houses. As you know, the county assembly is the equivalent legislative arm of the county government. If the county government has already complied, why should the national Government not comply? It is important that the rule applies seamlessly across the country and to all institutions. As the Leader of the Majority Party has already stated, the amendment that we are proposing to the Constitution, the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act, seeks to include a sunset clause of 20 years. This is not going to be permanent as we expect people to elect more women or men or vice versa, depending on the number that has been elected. This Bill is very important. We support it as a Committee. As the Member of Parliament for Ainabkoi Constituency, I support it. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, the Jubilee Government supports it."
