    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to this Bill. I would like to first of all thank Hon. Duale for attempting to bring back debate on this very weighty issue because it had been pushed to the back burner. I love being consistent. This Bill does not have my vote. In the same strength, I support the two-thirds gender rule. I believe in it and I will always support it. I will feel very bad if I support a Bill that makes the membership of this Parliament indefinite and unpredictable in a country whose citizens struggle to put food on their tables. It is good to support a Bill, but many of us are not brave enough to call a spade a spade. I will support the Bill only when it is accompanied by provisions that reduce the number of politicians in this country. This country cannot afford us. It is the responsibility of this August House, the Executive and political parties to address this issue once and for all.
