    "content": "What is more important is the question that the Leader of the Minority Party has raised. Should we lose the vote today and the House be adjourned next week on Thursday, we will be out of time on the five days for us to get a second opportunity. It will also be a very good moment for us to reflect on whether many of us who are supporting this Bill are doing it because we support the letter and spirit of the Constitution or the intent of the drafters of the Constitution to allow our ladies to have an opportunity of leadership in this country. I am saying this because I know there are many of us who are in this House and are supporting this Bill because it is what is required by our Constitution, 2010. Hon. Speaker, guide us because earlier this morning, I had a very animated conversation with my friend and colleague, nominated Member No.001, Hon. Sankok, because of some sentiments I read and heard that he had expressed. I was encouraging him that he has an opportunity to bring another Constitution (Amendment) Bill to amend the particular provision of the Constitution that creates the two-thirds gender rule to exempt elective positions from the two-thirds gender requirement."
