I beg to support this Bill from the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). I do not know why both the 10th and 11thParliaments did not actualise this. We are now in the 12th Parliament and have not actualised it. Article 100 reads as follows: “Parliament shall enact legislation to promote representation in Parliament of – (a) women; (b) persons with disabilities; (c) youth; (d) ethnic and other minorities; and (e) marginalised communities.” We have been very busy dealing with the two-thirds gender rule. Once we pass this Bill, the two-thirds gender principle will be closed in my own reading because women, youth, minorities and marginalised groups are here."}
