    "content": " I stand to support “Duale Bill”. When we talk about gender, we are not talking about women. Gender is a socially constructed definition of men and women. So, we have to demystify the thought that gender is about women. When we talk about gender, we are talking about empowerment. When we talk about empowerment, we are talking about women. When we talk about empowerment, we know Kenya is a signatory to the declaration on human rights. When you talk about human rights, you are talking about social inclusion; you are not talking about social exclusion. When you talk about human rights, you are talking about fairness and justice. The Bible, in Amos Chapter 5, Verse 24 tells us that let justice flow like a river and righteousness like a never-failing stream. We are to act justly in this nation. When we act justly, we are talking about women. When we talk about women, we are talking about our girls, our wives, our mothers and our aunties. For us in this nation to break the glass ceiling, we are to empower women. When we bring more women to this Parliament, we will act as role models to our children, to our aunties and our mothers. The cost implication of this Bill is minimal. It is talking about 22 Members of the National Assembly and two Senators. The amount of Kshs282,240, 000 to be incurred is minimal."
