    "content": "I want to thank all the committees that were very astute in terms of looking at the Bill as proposed by the Senate and noting the irregularities that were contained thereon. The amendments that have been proposed by all the committees of this House have been very sound, constitutional and reasonable in the manner they have been presented to this House. We hope that when the Mediation Committee is appointed by the Leader of the Majority Party together with the Leader of the Minority Party, they will do so expeditiously so that when we resume – I am not anticipating debate - we pass this fairly quickly because it contains very important provisions that seek to meet the gender quota. This is a very important Bill. As we continue to discuss the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, this is one way Members of Parliament who represent interests of women will see how the male counterparts are seeking to support the progressive implementation of the gender rule as contained under Article 27(a). With those remarks, I move and request Hon. Kajuju to second. She will not oppose my comments with regard to the gender rule. For your information, she has been very supportive in the Committee. She has been a proponent of the idea that the gender rule needs to be implemented in the manner in which we have proposed. Thank you."
