    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, women go through a lot of hardship when it comes to elective positions. Some women are abused while others are nicknamed. Women are marginalized in many ways. Sometimes, people stop women from getting into some places. Women have gone through nasty experiences. When I first joined politics, somebody called me, sat me down and said that I do not belong to this group. I asked why and he replied that politics is not for honourable women. We said that the women that are in politics are those that have bad records, are known for doing funny things in the society and have no respect for themselves. We all know that the women who are in politics and hold different offices have always performed. NOW THEREFORE, THE SENATE RESOLVES 1. that Parliament fast track the enactment of the law that shall give effect to the one third gender rule; Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we all know what has happened before but I still request that- 2. that pursuant to Article 81 of the Constitution both the National and County governments observe the principle of equality, and empowers the female gender by increasing the appointive position to at least 50 per cent."
