    "content": "This Motion hopes that the Senate resolves this issue. This Senate has been very clear about gender relationships and I just said that gender is a social construct. So, even boys and girls coming up is key. It is just a social construct on how people view either men or women and then begin to respond to those specific constructs that have been put into place. That balance is clear, needs to be clear and it is important. We have reached the point where that Bill did not go through, but I think it has injected a new impetus around women. I hear women say that now we want to be able to even move forward and try to move to the 50 per cent. Madam Temporary Speaker, the second prayer is that pursuant to the Constitution, both at the national and county governments observe the principle of equality. That principle has been put in place but we need to ensure it is well protected. It should also be well protected for appointive positions. Maybe, we should have mechanisms of confirming whether the provisions that were put in place have been actualized. What do we do in situations where they have not been actualized? If you put the law in place, we need to find ways of carrying those laws right through."
