    "content": "When I was listening to Hon. Kigano, what was going through my mind is that, if you look at the sovereignty of the people and the supremacy of the Constitution, Article 81(b) does not even talk in inference. It is explicit. It says Parliament in representation must ensure that not more than two-thirds are of the same gender. It is a shame that we are only fighting for a mere 30 per cent. We are more than 50 per cent. Even the ones who have been elected will tell you, if they give you a story of their lives, how they have fought to be elected as women, you cannot say we have an equal playing ground, whether in the political parties or the electorate. It is tough. It is grueling and crazy madness to women. What does that mean? It means people will shy away when they realise that women are not being elected. They will shy away from contesting. I am telling you that as having gone through it. You will, as a woman, be fought from anything – from your family, children. I have even heard Members of this House unashamedly talk about the paternity of your children. I will say it because I have heard it in some forum; it is a shame. They will take anything to fight you with."
