David ole Sankok","speaker":{"id":78,"legal_name":"Cecily Mutitu Mbarire","slug":"cecily-mbarire"},"content":" Hon. Speaker, I may have irritated a few Members. I do not know where they belong. We should come up with legislation so that we know who will be nominated to those slots so that we have a correct representation. The largest democracy in the world – the United States of America - has also not attained the two-thirds gender rule. We are crawling. I am sure we will very soon achieve this two-thirds gender rule. We should also recognise that men are endangered. We are no longer discussing about the boy-child. When we talk of the gender top-up, at the moment we are thinking about women. In future, it may be for men. That is the reason I support the Bill but with reservations that those slots should be given to a mosaic representation of women instead of a few categories of women. If I support women with disabilities, women from rural areas and young women, why are you irritated? This is a very nice Bill. I support it with reservations."}
