    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to discuss this extremely important Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. This is a Bill that actually demonstrates the whole issue of how we should implement our Constitution realising that we may have extremely good principles in the Constitution but have problems with their implementation, depending on how the laws or the Constitution itself was laid out. This is based on a principle that all of us agreed on - the principle of equal opportunity for women. There is no doubt about that. The whole country agreed that women are 50 per cent of the population, and therefore, they deserve their opportunity. The issue of affirmative action for all women is agreed. Women have been faced with a lot of impediments and disadvantages starting with historical facts of laws, culture and etiquette that tended to lock them out. More important, there is the big role of women in the society. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
