    "content": "Thank you, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support this Procedural Motion because, as others have said, we cannot deal with one-half of the population in a country and presume that we are dealing with everybody. Therefore, in general, I support measures that encourage and support women to participate in all our activities. However, this Bill and the matter of two-thirds bring out a very important issue in the whole area of implementation of the new Constitution. There are many other areas in the constitution that are actually problematic. We are only responding to areas that bring in public issues, and that is allowed. For example, we are concerned with the issue of gender rule because there is a lot of publicity around it, and there is a lot of lobbying around it. But there are other areas in the Constitution, for example, dealing with devolution. We had a problem with the doctors‟ strike. If you look at it keenly, it is the way we are dealing with devolution and the implementation of the Constitution. Last week, we had an issue with the Division of Revenue Bill, which again brings us to realise that there are areas in the Constitution that we need to look at keenly.
