I also wish to seek for the indulgence of this House that even that clause that is in contention; that we look at it in terms of our understanding because we debated it in a different way. In between, if we can find a way whether we can meet as Senators, at a Kamkunji, so that we have a consensus about this; then we come back here to vote, we do so in a united manner. Secondly, to avoid a constitutional crisis in the 12th Parliament because the law states that for the House to be constitutional, one-third of the representation should be women---. If we do not do this, the arrangement will not have been put in place. This is what this Bill seeks to do. This is critical. I have just come from another meeting where all eyes are on the Senate. The Senate can save this country from that constitutional crisis."}
