    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to give you critical data. Figures speak and they do not lie. Education has been mentioned as one area that has made tremendous achievements. This is because of the Education for All (EFA) goals of 2000-2015. In 2005, an analysis was done in the education sector in terms of leadership of schools. Data at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) indicated that male teachers were 52 per cent while female teachers were 48 per cent at that time. Those who were in leadership in 2005 were 27 per cent. A lot of work has been done. To date, we have almost achieved gender parity. We have seen women vice-chancellors who have done well. We have seen female school principals who have done well too. In the recently released Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results, we observed the candidature of 529,000 female candidates and 531,000 male candidates. Therefore, this Parliament should not be debating whether or not we should throw out this Bill or whether or not we should have the two-thirds gender rule fully implemented. In fact, it ought to have been implemented like yesterday. We should not be classified as a chauvinistic and retrogressive nation."
