    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, as I support this Bill, this amendment to Article 100 does not in any way replace the dictates of the Constitution under Articles 27 and 81. Article 27 of the Constitution deals with gender parity in all general aspects, both in elective positions at whatever level and appointive positions in whatever sector. However, the amendment to Article 100 of the Constitution that we are discussing today zeroes in only on representation in Parliament. Having said that, the amendment to Article 100 of the Constitution helps us to move towards the achievement of what Article 27 of the Constitution dictates. It offers different areas that we can look at in order to get to Article 27, which this House has tried several times to achieve, but has still not achieved. In that respect, I support the amendment we are discussing this afternoon. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
