    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution on this very important Bill. It is a Bill that promotes inclusiveness, democracy and participation of various stakeholders. It is important that after the passage of the Constitution, some of these laws are aligned to the new realities of the Constitution. I strongly support this Bill, particularly the provisions on gender. In this Bill, there is promotion of achievement of the two-thirds gender rule, which is very important for our women. The provisions make sure that everybody is involved in the political process of this country. I also want to contribute on the issue of building strong national institutions. As you have noticed, there have been some efforts in trying to merge parties. That is why we have parties coming together to form the CORD Coalition while others are coming together to form the Jubilee Coalition. There is a need to form institutions that are strong, national and inclusive like in western democracies. We need to have parties that are strong and with foundations based on issues which are shared nationally, and based on inclusivity of everybody. I strongly support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
