    "content": "Finally, there is one thing I felt was lacking in the speech. This is a roadmap for the two-thirds gender rule and I urge the President to come out strongly on this one. I say this because you can see which gender is in the House now. Despite the fact that we are only 29.7 per cent, you will realise that 90 per cent of the contributions we have had in this House are from one gender. The President should know that this House is full of committed ladies and this country is full of committed women and any quarter of the nation as per the Constitution must have the 30 per cent women, be it Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries or members of boards. The minimum number should be adhered to because you can attest that even in this House you have the commitment of women always going past 6.30 p.m. and it is not just today. You have seen for yourself today the numbers that we have in this Chamber. It is important that a nation cannot be driven by one gender but by both genders. I would like to encourage the President that the one paragraph that I was looking for is missing and he should declare for us very soon. He could do so on Madaraka Day which is on 1st June, 2018, for us to know what the road map of getting the two-third gender rule is. With those remarks, I thank you and I support."
