"content": "However, that can be achieved in this country if the rule of law is observed, there is fair play and we have an IEBC, which is fair to the word and spirit of the law. If we have a Police Force that is fair and just, all will be fine. I know women are great leaders. It has been demonstrated even in homes. Ladies have taken the responsibility of taking care of homes very effectively in the absence of their husbands due to one reason or the other. In this House, we have great leaders like Hon. Amina Abdalla, Hon. Sabina Chege and many others that I do not need to mention, who are very good contributors. The one-third gender rule is not a bad thing, but as we know, it may not be easy for us to achieve it at once. I support this although with reservation to the effect that it should be given time, so that eventually ladies can get encouraged to vie for elective posts and campaign in a free atmosphere where they will be elected without undergoing the troubles that we experienced during the dark days of our country."
