    "content": "Clause 3 of the Bill seeks to amend Article 97 of the Constitution which provides for the membership of the National Assembly by providing that the National Assembly shall consist of a number of special seat members necessary to ensure that no more than two-thirds of the membership of the National Assembly represents single or one side of the gender. The special seats to the National Assembly, if we use the numbers that we have today… I was in the 10th Parliament and progressively Kenyans are electing women even from some of the most conservative communities. Today, we have Hon. Sophia Abdi from Ijara, Hon. Sara Korere from Laikipia North, Hon. Lesuuda from Samburu West, Hon. Fatuma Dullo, the Isiolo Senator, Senator Kamar from Uasin Gishu and many other women elected. Those of us who were in the 10th Parliament see the journey women in our country have walked and the progressive nature of the Kenyan voters. If there are loyal voters, and each Member will agree with me, in our constituencies and our counties, they are women. Each male Member of Parliament will agree with me that the most loyal voters are women. As the Member of Garissa Township, the backbone of my support base is women voters."
