    "content": "I also note that the Committee is more gender sensitive than the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs where I sit chaired by Hon. Chepkong’a. This is because this amendment does not talk about a progressive approach. It goes direct to the point by saying that gender balance must be realised. Therefore, I do not think that the thinking of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives is in tandem with the thinking of Hon. Chepkong’a with all the respect I have for him. I also like the fact that it reflects diversity and takes into account that we have very many laws in Kenya which have not been harmonised with the Constitution. Therefore, what this amendment has done is to look at the Constitution and find laws that were passed without harmonisation with the Constitution and make sure that they are captured in those amendments to ensure the same spirit of the Constitution is not lost."
