    "content": "Another amendment I am happy about is the one on special seats under Clause 1 (c)(a) which shall be determined after the full declaration of the office holders in the next General Election. This will give a chance to political parties to assess how women performed and what numbers are required for top up. As we sit today, we have very many able women who lost their seats and if this law was in place at that time, they would be in the National Assembly or county assemblies representing Kenyans. The few that come to mind are like Hon. Charity Ngilu who was saved by getting a Cabinet Secretary (CS) position in the Jubilee Government. If she had not been given the position in the Jubilee Government as a CS, she would be out in the cold yet she is a strong woman. We also have Hon. Linah Chebii. These are women who vied and lost. We have Hon. Wavinya Ndeti and Hon. Margaret Kamar who even attempted to vie for governorship. All these women I am talking about would be in Parliament through party nomination after they lost in the General Election."
