    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also add my voice to this very important issue. I empathize with my colleague, Sen. Sijeny, who carries a very important vision that can save this country a lot of money when you put into context the repercussions if we do not pass this Bill, and come next Parliament, we do not observe the two thirds gender rule as it is so called. Unfortunately, the sympathy that she has drawn is from the wrong quarters because while we sympathize with her, some of us do not have the powers to summon our colleagues into this House. There are people with responsibilities and as you give guidance today, I think it would be good just to make a point to them that responsibilities are just that. You cannot be called a Majority Whip, have a nice office within the precincts of Parliament but at the most important hour of need where you are needed to whip your colleagues to pass an important Bill like this one, you are nowhere to be seen. I think as you make your ruling, please spare some tongue-lashing for these people who have let us down."
