    "content": "So, the point I am trying to make here is that unless we actually promote women to be elected at county assemblies and not be dominated, we are going to end up with very bloated Assemblies. This is because there is a requirement that they must be one- third. The more they are elected, the better. But if we do not have even a single woman elected as a councillor, then all of them have to be nominated. So, the cost of running those assemblies will be very high. That is the reason why as members of political parties, we must factor this in our programme. We must ensure that we will nominate women and vote for them to be elected Members of Parliament and also Members of county assemblies. It is not that we are paying lip service. The hon. Member will know one of the reasons why we have said that we need to revisit this issue of the appointments is because there is no face of gender in it."
