    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion. Indeed, it is very important. I know that this Parliament is very committed to pass the two-thirds gender rule. As we all know, we have tried it several times. We have had the Chepkong‟a Bill and the Duale Bill. With the court ruling of 60 days, of course, the judge must have known it is not attainable. But, maybe, it is because he did not know. I am humbly requesting the Hon. Members, today, to try and pass this Procedural Motion so that we can be able to revive that Bill – the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No.6) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 65 of 2015). As we try to do that, we know there are challenges of quorum. After the injuries of the primaries which many people are still nursing, as you can see, we do not have quorum as we move on. You know this will requires two-thirds. We request Hon. Members wherever they are, as we start debate on this, to, at least, come to the Floor of the House - if possible by tomorrow - if we are concluding. That is so that we can have the numbers. I am very optimistic that these men you see here are here to support the women. Of course, I want to support Hon. Duale for having led the troops so that we can be able to ensure that this two-thirds gender rule can be achieved. I thank you and I second."
