    "content": "Otherwise, people can take advantage of this. More so, our sisters can take advantage of this grouping of women and the special group that is being targeted will never realise the dream of being in this House. For the marginalised areas or groups, we need to be very clear, although it is defined in the Constitution. But there is no harm if we repeat this definition so that people do not take advantage of it. We have seen people who want to take advantage of these general terminologies so that they can benefit. Another area of interest to me is the amendment to the Election Offences Act. I am happy with this because in this country, politicians take advantage of elections and engage in serious offences to stop people from participating in fair elections. We need to be very strict when it comes to election offences. If anybody is caught engaging in those offences, then the penalties should be tough to a level that you might be barred from contesting. This should be applied to both women and men. I have realised the reason why most of our sisters do not participate in elections. Any time you engage them in a discussion, they will tell you that elections are very violent and they cannot participate in them because they do not want to die in the process."
