    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the clause about having a chance for a second nomination is to curb the nomination being given four or five times. If for the second time, I stood for an elective post and garnered 30 000 votes, I have added the votes to my presidential candidate. Therefore, he or she should recognise the effort that I have made. We also spend money when campaigning because it is not a free undertaking. We know that campaigns in Kenya are expensive. So, on that basis, women should be given a second opportunity for our nomination if we can prove that we did a good job. However, if we do not, then we miss the nomination and another is granted the opportunity where she will continue building capacity. Madam Temporary Speaker, the gender parity is not about women. It is a signal that I am giving to the men. In the next 10 years, men will be crying to us wanting to have the affirmative action. That time, we shall be smart enough and we will know how to deal with them. Thank you. 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"
