    "content": "Another call for action was capacity building and investment in financial literacy and innovative transition pathways of women horned in formal businesses. Again, we looked at building capacities of national and county assemblies. Mainstreaming gender responsive budgeting and economic policies is another issue. You will remember that the last term of the first county assemblies, women who were nominated were referred to as ‘top ups’. Such derogatory terminologies should be avoided and done away with because we must recognise such nominations pursuant to Article 97 and 98 of the Constitution. Another point of action is to build capacity of national and county assemblies in extreme gender, external access to social protection of women, set up a framework, localise and decentralise mechanisms, intensify efforts to ensure civic education, monitoring and evaluation, establish a framework to engage men and boys as agents of change and champions of gender issues, especially the two-third gender principle. We are actually looking for a male champion. I must remind my brothers here that the Two-Third Gender Principle (Amendment) Bill is on the way and we are looking and seeking for its support. I have referred to the threat of dissolution of this House through a court process. Therefore, it is important that we address ourselves to the Two-Thirds Gender Principle (Amendment) Bill that is coming."
