    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That is actually very good information. So, I do not need to bring it. In the last Parliament, we did it. We need to see in this Parliament. Our leaders must be corrected on where they are going wrong. In the last Parliament, we discovered that both the President and the then Prime Minister had surpassed the legal provision by one person each. We forced them to comply with the law. So, in the same manner, we must compel the President and the Deputy President to abide by the law. These are the issues that wars are made of; when people feel that they are not included in a country. That is why we have the crisis with the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU). People want to move away when they feel their issues are not addressed. If we do not deal with these issues, we will very quickly hear people say that they want to go the federal process so that we can also be in our own corner and manage our own issues if they cannot be included. However, if you want a country that includes everybody, let us include everybody. I oppose this Motion because it does not comply with Article 27 of the Constitution on the issue of gender, and especially the one-third rule. Hon. Speaker, I know that you have challenged us that if it is to point something, how do you ensure we address it. Out of seven, what is the most logical thing to do? Would it be to give the lower or the higher? If it is 2.5 and the people who are selecting are not too sure how to deal with the point five, then choose a short woman. A short woman can fill the point five part. You do not have to appoint a tall woman. If the tall woman is a whole woman, get somebody of the size of Hon. Millie Odhiambo. That can be a point five woman. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
