    "content": " The Bill we are debating is not a new creation. It is about implementing part of the Constitution that Kenyans passed. We are battling over a situation that must be addressed in this country. It is a situation where men and women are given an opportunity to serve this nation. Kenya has made great strides towards achieving the gender rule. We see more women in the House than they were in the previous Parliament. We see more women in various institutions as heads and in top leadership positions unlike in previous years, but it is not enough. This Bill is not about women. It is about every Kenyan having equal opportunities be they political, economic and social in order to serve this nation. The challenge the Members have raised and the mechanism of vetting the persons to be nominated should be discussed by this House. That is why we are given the opportunity to do so when the right time comes. I support the Bill."
