    "content": "Hon. Millie Odhiambo is a unique Member of Parliament in terms of how she navigated as the only woman Member of Parliament. This is a story for another day. She is not an ordinary person; she is a serious female politician. This Bill is progressive. It is making political parties have an obligation in their party constitutions and affirmative on how to increase the number of female Members of Parliament in their nominations. It is asking State actors to bring more resources for civic education. The people of Kenya and voters must be convinced to elect more women to this House. This is not a walk in the park, neither is it a birthday party. Voters in this country whose majority are women must undergo a serious civic education programme. This Bill is also asking political parties, from the funds they receive, to set aside certain resources for capacity building of women leaders in this country. In the evenings, we all go to good houses run by our wives and we go to visit our mothers over the weekends. There is nothing we are denying. There is no conspiracy theory here. All we are saying, Hon. Nyokabi, as the Chair of the 47 caucus, is that we will walk with you."
