    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to contribute to this Statement, but on procedure. I think the Senator who has just spoken before me has said it. What I wanted to bring forward is with regard to what the Chairman said about the statements made yesterday as women leaders. As women Senators, what we did in that meeting was to bring the House into proper reputation. Already, we were being ridiculed that we were trying to go against what the Constitution has said. Whatever statement was made - I want the Chairperson of the Committee to know - it was not because Senators wanted to communicate through the press, it is because they were trying to save face for the sake of this House. We are saving face because according to Article 27(8) that has been raised by the Report, we are mandated as a legislative arm to take measures to implement the principle of two-thirds, it will be a ridiculous thing for those of us who are supposed to label the implementation to be the ones who are running against it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday’s statement was also to correct the anomaly and I thank Sen.(Eng.) Maina for feeling the correction; that actually in this House, there is very clear evidence that our nominated Members have performed very well."
