    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thought the distinguished Senator was offended by my assertion that women sit in this House longer than the men. He then pursued a completely different trajectory that was irrelevant to what I was saying, but we forgive him. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to conclude by encouraging Sen. Sijeny, the Senator sponsoring this Bill, that we do not want to throw out the baby with the bath water. This House is unlikely to find favour with the Clause allowing nominations in perpetuity. This House is unlikely to find favour with Clause 4(1)(a) and (b). She should find a way of giving us a firm commitment that she will change the Bill then we will vote overwhelmingly for it. If that remains the same, she has my qualified support. I noticed that many Senators had similar thinking; that we want the revolving door to give room for as many women as possible. Sen. Wangari is here; she will run and next time her daughter should follow or somebody else other than entrenching Sen. Wangari here for over 15 years as if there are no other people out there. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support to the extent that I have said and I hope that at the Committee stage, we will see something restructured, recast and meeting our expectations as we support firmly the one-third gender rule and affirmative action for our women."
