    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I enjoyed listening to Sen. M. Kajwang. If an honorary title was to be awarded today, we would award him for supporting women vigorously. I also rise to support this Bill which is quite interesting. As my colleague Sen. M. Kajwang has said, amendments will be suggested when it moves to the next stage. I congratulate Sen. Sijeny for being bold enough to raise these issues in the Constitution, particularly Articles 81, 90, 97 and 98. They dwell majorly on nominations with regard to gender and persons living with disabilities at all levels; the county assembly, the National Assembly and the Senate. I have gone through the Bill briefly. I am impressed to note that Sen. Sijeny has suggested that concerning Article 81, we need to insert a new paragraph which is indicated in this Bill to introduce legislation, policy and other measures including the setting of standards to achieve the realisation of Clause 1(b) and Article 81(1)(b). Article 81 purely talks about the electoral system that they need to comply with in entirety. The Senator has introduced another part which states that the state shall take legislative policy and other measures including the setting up of standards to achieve the realisation of Clause 1(b). In other words, the whole of Article 81 from (a) to (e) now The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
