    "content": "The first question I ask is: When you look at the proposal in Section 17 of the Elections Act, which has been well put by the Members, how are you going to ensure that at the end of the day, the five groups that have been identified as special interest groups are represented proportionally in Parliament? We are talking of an elective process that will be used for nomination. What of a situation where you find consistently only women are nominated when parties put proper mechanisms in place? What about a situation where you may have women and youth nominated consistently, so that the two-thirds of the nominees through an elective process from the five groups is a big dream? The requirement of the 5 per cent of nominees from the five groups is also a tall order. So, we need further thought on how to ensure that the elective process in nomination picks the various groups for representation in this House."
