    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill, but with reservations. I have reservations because as it has been noted before, the leadership of political parties across the country has previously abused the opportunity they have been given to nominate members. This is the outcry that is coming from Kenyans all over the country. Both men and women are complaining because nominations have never been fair. After the 2013 elections, in Busia County, for instance, one political party nominated two sisters to the county assembly. In Laikipia, for instance, also, one political party nominated one Member, whom we sat with here, who was his wife and two daughters. We have heard this across the board in all political parties. This is what we are saying even as we pass this Bill."
