    "content": "The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No.6) Bill of 2015 is a Constitution Bill that requires to be passed before the end of this Parliament. Its principle objective is to amend the Constitution to ensure that the membership of the National Assembly and the Senate conform to the two-thirds gender principle provided for in Article 81(b) of the Constitution. The Bill proposes special seats allocated proportionally to the number of seats won by a political party. It is more of a middle ground between all the Bills that came to the House. We had Hon. Chepkong‟a‟s Bill and Hon. A.B. Duale‟s Bill. I am sure that Members are conversant with the various Bills. They were aimed at ensuring that the gender principle is realised progressively in Parliament within 20 years from the 2017 general elections. The essence was to give both genders a level playing field to compete."
