    "content": "without amending Article 97, which gives the composition of Members of Parliament. The Committee says that we do it progressively, but it does not give a formula for doing this progressively. A formula should be given. A formula has timeliness and numbers. This particular one has no timeliness and numbers. It is, therefore, retrogressive. We are equal partners in development with men. I do not see why these men are opposing the idea of bringing more women to Parliament. They are telling us to go and compete with men. Indeed, we should go back to the constituencies and look for women and support them. That is what we are going to do starting this short recess. We are going to crusade and champion for more women to vie in the single constituencies so that we can achieve the two-thirds gender rule. I oppose this Bill."
