    "content": "This issue of always giving women less numbers when a constitutional provision says that it must be one-third is not right. It is unconstitutional. I would have been happier for once if it was the opposite. It would have been nice for once if we saw that there are five women and two men so that the men can also argue. Let us also have another point five man for once. It cannot be that even small things like these, we cannot get women who have degrees or masters in this country. This is totally unacceptable. I hope that the whole Supreme Court will go. They are the ones who have created confusion with a very poor advisory opinion on the issue of gender. I hope that if they do not go, at least, the teasers under the Katiba Institute that are focusing on the wrong thing, which is the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF), will turn their attention on this issue of gender, which is a more serious issue because we violate it every day. I am sure in the next world we will violate it again. At least, the only saving grace is that we have included a person with disability but from the CV that were being read, I am almost sure there is none of these people who is less than 35 years. So, we have excluded the youth and the women. We are excluding all the people that we should be including by virtue of the Constitution. Therefore, I wish to vehemently oppose. Let us remember that this country belongs to the women, to the men, to the youth, to the aged, to the young, to the children and to everyone. I oppose."
