"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I oppose this Bill. This Bill is a let-down to the women of Kenya. I am surprised listening to our male colleagues alleging that we want more women in this House. When Kenyans voted for the new Constitution, in their wisdom, they provided for the two-thirds gender principle. They said that no one gender shall comprise more than two-thirds of the membership of this House. This Parliament was expected to provide a formula. I am an accountant and a formula is supposed to give a solution. What is progressive? That will not give any results because there are no numbers attached to it. It is not saying anything. We should come up with an agreeable formula that addresses and ensures that in elective positions, we have one-third of women in this House."
