    "content": "I was in the UK and I will share that with Members when I come to reply to my Bill. Let us not create an impression that women in this country are poor and have no money and that is why they are not winning political seats. Hon. Kaluma raised a very good example. He said in Kisumu West Constituency, where Hon. Olago Aluoch is the Member of Parliament on FORD (K) Party, the ODM party has always decided, for many years, to give Rose Buya a direct ticket. They refused to give my friend, Hon. Olago Aluoch, the ticket. But the people of Kisumu West told ODM that they were going to elect Hon. Olago Aluoch. The people of Kenya elect leaders not on the basis of gender, but on the basis of their performance. That is why the Deputy Speaker is a Member for Sotik and that is why Hon. Alice Ng’ang’a is a very great member for Thika Town Constituency. That is why we have great county women leaders. Our women leaders should not look for excuses to ascend to power. Do not look for excess resources. Let us make this law for posterity and not where you favour one gender."
