"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has clearly stated that the provision for one-third representation of either gender is now a Constitutional issue and that in the process of implementation of the New Constitution; realizing devolution, this is an area that the Government is taking very seriously. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am holding a petition that was given to the Speaker by 19 women organizations over the recent appointments. How will Kenyan women take the Government seriously when it is just giving lip service to the one-third affirmative action policy but not doing it in practice? We are tired of lip service. Could the Prime Minister tell us concretely, in line with the current appointments and continuous appointments that happen, where women must always make noise--- This is now a Constitutional matter. How can the women of Kenya take this Government seriously on this issue?"
