    "content": "I wish to highlight a few very salient and important features of this Bill. One of it is to institutionalise affirmative action in Kenya in the way it has been done in many other jurisdictions in the world. One of them is to make sure that we do not have a permanent feature of affirmative action in our Constitution. The Bill seeks to cure an imbalance that has been created by years of marginalisation based on gender lines. Members who have spoken before me have clearly stated that this Bill has not been made for women. This is an issue that needs to be clarified. The Bill seeks to make sure that we attain gender balance in all spheres of leadership in this country. In the likely event the male gender gets marginalised, the mechanism that we are putting in place through this Bill will cure such an eventuality. I can see that Hon. Midiwo is looking at me very keenly."
