    "content": "Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I oppose this Bill. Just like the rest of the speakers have said, there are women who came to Parliament for the first time and we know what they went through for us to be in Parliament today. We know very well that the Supreme Court gave an advice saying that Parliament should go back and find a formula to bring more women to Parliament. This is a constitutional amendment. It is not an issue about men and women. Hon. Chepkong’a has tried to run away from this Bill yet he said it is his Committee’s. Just like a Hon. Member has spoken, the Committee has put us in a very awkward situation. The Members who are here know that already people have gone to court and with or without supporting this Bill, we know what is going to happen."
