    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know that most of us made it to this House through very difficult circumstances and the whole country knows about it. We went through discrimination in very conservative patriarchal societies. With this Bill, Kenyan women will be given a chance to be voted in. In case they are not elected, such challenges will be addressed by a top-up. If we pass this Bill and encourage the county assemblies to follow through, we will reduce the burden on the taxpayers. I support the inclusion of Kenyan women in leadership because there is no way this country can go forward without the voice of women. I would like to encourage Hon. Midiwo, a respected Member of this House and of the CORD Coalition, to support this Bill because women who got elected in their coalition were fewer because the coalition has not been treating women fairly during nominations."
