    "content": "Sen. Sijeny has also brilliantly and eloquently addressed Article 90, where it talks about what needs to be done. I support that and say that as we address this, my challenge to the other gender is that, you are capable of presenting your candidature. The only problem I have noted in Kenya is that when it comes to party issues and articulating what you can do and showing your ability, not very strong and competent ladies want to go to politics, except a few. If you go to the villages, the strong ladies such as, teachers and doctors do not want to run for office. They only want to enjoy nomination. If you stood against a man including myself, there are women who are better than me. My challenge is that as we introduce this - I am very happy with her proposal to bring an amendment - we should not be nominating people forever. It is not healthy to have somebody always serving as a nominated Member. I am sure we have all learnt something and are competent the way Sen. Sijeny, Sen. Wangari and all the others have shown. They have brought Bills and Motions to this House. Why do you not go the next mile and show your ability to go and vie, instead of wanting to be nominated again? This ceiling of two terms is better because we have already put a ceiling for the presidency which is a maximum of two terms and for the governor which is also two terms. We should also adapt the same for the women who have already stood for party seats and have been nominated."
