    "content": "Having paid tribute to those particular Members of Parliament who are women, time has come for this House to support this legislation. The 11th Parliament must be remembered for something. We gave effect to the Protection against Domestic Violence Bill which took forever to pass. This House made it possible. This House ought to give effect to this legislation. If it is for nothing else, let the 11th Parliament be remembered for the fact that it gave women a chance of equality in elections. It is to that extent I ask my colleagues to support it. When Members of the pastoralist community wanted funds for the Equalisation Fund, we stood with them. People with disabilities have brought issues to this House and we have stood with them. This time round, the women of this House have today requested that Members of Parliament, both men and women, stand with them on this issue of affirmative action seats. The most honourable thing we can do is to stand with them."
