    "content": "I am happy to support and urge, like everybody else who has spoken before me, that we unite as a country behind this law; that the Jubilee and CORD coalitions unite behind this law to give this country an implementing mechanism for the main Houses of decision-making - The National Assembly and the Senate. Even as we look at the two-thirds in many other places, the National Assembly and the Senate will in 2017 be compliant with what the Constitution requires. We are mindful of the fact that women are 50 per cent and so, if we were going for gender parity, we would be asking for 50/50 representation. As it is, the Constitution already sets the two-thirds principle and so, the House today is merely implementing that which the Constitution has set forth in the two-thirds gender law."
