    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I rise here to support this Bill because of one reason. I come from Cherangany and the people of Cherangany have told me to support this Bill. My wife has also told me to support it. There were many things that needed to be changed when this Constitution came into being, and this is one of them. I support those Members who have stood here today and said we should not be talking about adding more Members in Parliament, but we need to look for a way of achieving this with subtraction of Members of Parliament. Parliament is overloaded. We cannot even find a place for parking our cars. We cannot allow more Members here. The best thing to do to achieve this because we are in a democratic country is to listen to the people. You cannot force people to vote for any gender in a democratic country. If we have achieved something in the nomination--- The Government is supposed to follow the two-thirds gender rule in its appointments. That is where we need to go first, but we cannot force people to vote for any gender. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
