    "content": "We also have a youth league which has youthful women. We have a national league office, ward league, polling station league, constituency and county leagues. We have two good roads of leadership within the party. Our National Executive Council complies with the two-third gender rule. The other political parties should have structures which should comply with the two-third gender rule for us to lead by example. We call upon the appointing authorities to do the same. I applaud my sister for coming up with this Motion because women are the backbone of the economy of this country. They are ones who toil in the farms, harvest and store the food. How can a group that contributes a lot to this economy not benefit from the little that there is before it is stolen? Statistics show that women are more than men. They are over 50 per cent yet they are left behind when it comes to development. I want to know if the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) has complied with this rule. Is it male dominated or how many women do we have there? Women should be there when decisions are being made and that should be the case in all areas including the BBI. In any case, women are the best people to build bridges because they know how to cry out to their children. There is nobody who does not have a woman in their lives. One can either have a daughter, mother, sister or wife. What happens when men make decisions minus the women? I support this Motion and I hope that we can copy our sister state; Rwanda. Thank you."
