    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill because it is an important constitutional amendment that will help us to show that we are a progressive country, and that we appreciate the contribution of our women not just in our families, societies and in fields such as peace building but we also appreciate their full participation, as mothers and sisters, in the leadership of the country and on the political decision making tables. The Constitution talks about no more than the two-thirds of one gender in public elected positions and appointed offices. This Bill has taken so long. We were supposed to do it last year. I beg the men and the women in this august House to do the honourable thing and pass it, so that it can go to the Senate within the required timeline."
