    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, tell me where we have moved gradually from where we were not even in 1963. This so-called pole pole is what is going to destroy this country. We have not moved an inch from the so-called progressive direction that was given to us by the Supreme Court in 2012. We are not serious and that is why I am saying that we are lying to Kenyans and we are pretending. We are burying our heads in the sand. The issue of gender equity or two-thirds is not about women. It is an affirmative action to bring about equity in leadership and even in development spheres of this country. We are trying to pretend that we do not know that there has been successive marginalisation of women and deliberate exclusion from leadership positions because of our socialisation process. We are trying to pretend as a country. What we are trying to correct is an imbalance created by our society so that we give all human beings equal footing in representation and building this country called “Kenya” in all spheres. It is not about women. As my colleagues have said, there will come a time when we will talk about men. It is possible. The process might be slow but I can tell you it is surely coming."
