    "content": "(ODM), they only have one. They only delivered one woman to this Parliament called Hon. Millie Mabona, Member for Mbita. It is the saddest story. As Jubilee, we have said, and I cannot speak for CORD, we are folding our sleeves. Women have never been unable to campaign. In fact, most men here have women as their biggest campaigners. For long, we have tried to be diplomatic. The diplomacy is done. We are going to deliver as Jubilee, a minimum of 25 elected women, hold me to account. Four governors and 5 senators and you can hold me to account. How are we going to do that? Our party is serious about elective positions for women. I throw the challenge to the CORD side. Support the election of women through your party structures like we are doing in Jubilee. Do a campaign that is open and sincere. Our campaign is called women for women. We are telling women to be there for women and to vote for women. So, today, as we are all seated here, because you have told us in no uncertain terms that you are not giving us freebies, we have said it is fine. A constitutional requirement has become a freebie; I do not know. You have also told us to go to the ground and ask for votes and we are doing exactly that. So, please, my good friend, Hon. T. J. Kajwang’, one of my Members in Nairobi, whom I respect and who also sits in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs which has brought us this “thing” called “progressive”, should not blame me when I campaign for a woman in Ruaraka Constituency."
