    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Bill because it is very simple, it is just one page. The reason why Members and the country at large are not comfortable with the issue of nominations especially of the other gender is because of lack of transparency. If this Bill goes through we need to do regulations for enactment. We may need to include the following: One, there is need for public participation to be undertaken for those proposed to be nominated by political parties. All of us in this House who are elected were subjected to public participation when campaigning because people talked about our good and bad. Therefore, it will also be good for those who get nominated to be subjected to public participation. It is good for political parties to publish the details of the proposed nominees including the county, constituency and ward where they come from and the category the nominee is supposed to represent. This is because in some parliaments we have seen people over 80 years old being nominated and it is said they are representing youth. Therefore, the political background and past work experience of that person must matter. Then memoranda are called for people, especially supporters of that political party, to give views before the final list goes out."
