    "content": " He may decide to close his ears, that is why I am trying to be loud and clear. The other part I am talking about is the private entities and private industries. When we talk about gender and categories of people that we have, today, the studios only call the likes of Hon. Wamunyinyi who have white hair and beards, broad shoulders and big money. They will never call the youth and women. We also need the private industry and political parties to practise what we say. We have seen a lot of appointments. There is a big outcry on the social media concerning appointments. We need it to be practised by our leaders and private industries. Practice makes perfect. So, when we say that we need a third, when we say that we are looking for a Kenya that has equal rights for everybody, then even the private industry should practise that. The other part that I am talking about is party positions. When you talk about a third gender rule, let us see even from our big parties that being followed. Let us see the youth, not a youth wing. We do not want a party that shows us a youth wing. We want the higher hierarchy to adhere to the gender rule and cater for special interest groups. We also need to encourage more women to form more political parties. Let them not only wait for the men-dominated political parties so that they have no opportunity of winning positions. We need more political parties even from the more disadvantaged groups. Today, if Hon. Member No. 001 formed a political party that is taking care of disability, I am sure we will have more than five who will come to this House. We need to encourage each other so that we can balance this House naturally without putting into law that we must have two-thirds gender rule in this House. We need it to come naturally because we do not want to contravene the other parts of the rights of the people to choose whoever they want. The other part is about the categories that we are talking about. I have said a party for disability, youth, a youth movement and women movement. I am happy for the women of today."
