Otherwise, it would have been done differently and I would have known that the opinion was sought. Probably, I would have helped to advise differently. Back to the serious matter before us, I ask that we allow this debate to proceed. It is on the basis that today, maybe for the first time in the history of this country, we are seeing more women given more positions in a commission. The only unfortunate thing about it now is that the commission is about gender. I wish it was another commission. When it is a commission on gender, people might think that that is the reason we are giving more women appointments. That is not to demean this commission. This is a very important commission. I support. I thought I am debating. I urge you to rule that we proceed with the debate. I am sure Hon. Otiende is now persuaded enough to relax and let this matter proceed. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
