    "content": "as we like to refer to very bright people, they will know that in terms of representation, nothing will stop them. Therefore, in terms of being elected to the presidency and to those kinds of positions it will be a reality. We have seen that happen in other countries in Africa where women have become presidents, though not many, via electoral process. We will get there. Kenya is a leader and it can lead in this respect. I know that there are countries that are ahead of us, but they are ahead of us because they have a different strategy for getting women elected. If we had party list system, we would have achieved this before. We are doing it the hard way trying to rise vertically but we can achieve it. With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I donate my remaining time. But not before I say that I would hate, in say 20 years when men are now a tiny minority, to refer to those who are being nominated as gigolos. This is the opposite of the kind of sly queen thing we were talking about. Let us avoid that and let us get out of it and be serious. This is a House of serious debate. I support. Thank you."
