    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The essence of this Bill was to harmonise and see that elective positions from the county assembly to the Senate and the National Assembly are in line with the two-thirds gender rule. My worry is that the governors are also elected. How are we going to harmonise this Bill to ensure that we also have elected women in governorship position? The other element is the issue of auditing. It is good that we make laws as a country. We also need to get time where we analyse and see whether some of the rules we make are working. The Constitution has provisions we need to audit and see whether we are moving in the right direction. These are taking the perspective of the 47 elected women representative. That was an affirmative action geared to see that women get the platform to get into mainstream politics. Is it happening? From the colleagues we have, how many of them are willing to venture into mainstream elective positions? They are very few."
