    "content": "A short while ago I was questioning why it is the case. If you look at the 11th Parliament, you will find that the female Members representing constituencies virtually came from their places of birth. I do not know what the society is telling us. If you remember, Hon. Cecily Mbarire, it is her place of birth and my niece Hon. Millie Odhiambo had to come back to Suba to be elected. Look at our good Deputy Speaker. I do not want to speak more. I know the sky is the limit and we wish you well, but there is something that the society is telling us. I do not know why it is so easy for our society to embrace their daughters at the places of birth and not their places of marriage. Let me say that development is coming up in Homa Bay that will shock the 12th Parliament if it succeeds in the manner I am seeing it moving. In fact, we are beginning to think that there is something special about Hon. Wanga and Hon. Millie Odhiambo. There is a possibility. I am talking of a possibility because I wish my colleagues who are still serving in the 11th Parliament in the affected constituencies well. There is a possibility that when the 12th Parliament is constituted, Homa Bay County may stand out as the county that implemented the two-thirds gender principle without resorting to legislation or seeking this constitutional amendment. There is the possibility that very learned ladies, not just ladies, are going to join the very learned team of the two ladies we already have here. Dr. Eve Obara and Dr. Lilian Gogo could be here. I am talking of a possibility because I still wish them well in the battle they are going for."
