    "content": "education and access to resources. We are looking for ways in which we can cut down the wage bill. If Members can think critically, cutting the wage bill is not about nominations. In fact, if you want to save this country from economic doldrums, we must ensure that we elect women so that we do not have the entire House having nominated women legislators in this Parliament and even in the county assemblies. We shall put in place mechanisms that are going to ensure that our women are on board. Hon. Deputy Speaker, socialization has worked to ensure that women do not trust themselves and do not seek elective positions. Even when children are born, there is a way they are socialized - the roles the boys play and the gifts that we give them as compared to the girls. That is the mentality that we have all grown up knowing that women generally do not have opportunities to move forward. As I conclude, I will just say that supporting this Bill is the smartest thing that we will ever do. I urge our men not to feel intimidated. When we have a House where ladies sit beside men, it will be colourful. That is smart economics. I urge the men to support the Bill. We should look at our structures and mechanisms that are going to ensure that women are also on board so that we work together to develop this country. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you."
