(Ms.) Noor","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":375,"legal_name":"Sophia Abdi Noor","slug":"sophia-noor"},"content":"Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I would like to support the Motion of Adjournment. I thank the Hon. Members of this House for conducting credible and peaceful elections for our Members. Congratulations Members. That shows how mature this House is. I am so proud to be a Member of this House. On the same note, I congratulate the nine Members that were elected today to represent this country. I would like to point out that when we say that two-thirds of either gender should be elected, it is not necessary for us to always give the side of the women the one-third. Next time, I want to ask the leadership and the Members of this House to do vice versa so that we can give one-third to the men and two-thirds to the women. Again, I want to touch on the Committees that were constituted this morning and approved by this House. We want to look at it critically. I have heard rumours that there are only four women who have been appointed to chair Committees out of 30 Committees. That is unconstitutional and I request the Members of this House to critically look into this matter. They are your colleagues. They will add a lot of value in the development and management of the issues of this Parliament."}
