"content": "Women contribute a lot to the community. The soft voice of women can attract many people to make a particular resolution or take a certain action in anything. I am supporting this Bill because when we have enough women in Parliament, we have equal opportunity to represent our people. Representation is not only for men. Even women can represent people. At the ground level, they interact with people, attend different occasions, meet other women and travel. They present all kinds of people, namely, the widows, single mothers, the married and everybody. There are some issues which men cannot handle eloquently and are best handled by women. Women work effectively with a lot of commitment because they understand the language of other women. I support this Bill because it encourages competition and gives us an opportunity to be respected and recognised all over the world. Rwanda is respected because she has invested so much in her women. They have an equal number of male and female representatives in Parliament. That is why the economy of that country is growing. Women are not as corrupt as men. There are very few women who are corrupt. Majority of women are not corrupt. They are transparent and work hard to get their wealth. The few that are corrupt should not be used to judge women as corrupt. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
