    "content": "candid to ourselves. Has the Executive and the Judiciary implemented the two-thirds gender rule? Someone needs to tell us where they have done that. I can say without fear of contradiction that they have not. The Supreme Court does not reflect gender proportions. Another person will be appointed tomorrow to the position that is remaining in the Supreme Court. In my community, the person who has a hump sleeps better than those without one. He or she knows how to sleep better. In life, you live the way God has destined. This matter could not be resolved in the 10th Parliament. The Attorney-General (AG) went to the Supreme Court for advice. The Supreme Court gave an advisory opinion and obligated that Parliament must enact this law by 27th August, 2016 as amended by this House. Hon. Speaker, you and most Members here are witnesses that there was a Bill called “Duale Bill”. We, as the leadership, tried. We whipped Members and the closest number of Members we managed to get was 210. Hon. Speaker, if you take your camels to a watering point and they do not want to drink water, there is no way you can force them. Hon. Chachu is a pastoralist. He comes from a constituency where the best camels are bred. If you drive them to a watering point and they stand in the water pond and refuse to drink water, however much you hit them, they will not drink the water. You will have to take them back to the grazing land. Hon. Nyenze is my witness. We brought people to the watering point a number of times, and they refused to drink water. With the support of my sisters and the country at large, can we now find another middle ground? This is what this Bill is saying."
