    "content": "I wish to second this Bill. It has been a long journey getting this law together. I can assure you that some of the best brains have looked at this Bill. However, I also want the lady Members of this House to come and support this Bill. Initially, all of them wanted us to get into something called two-thirds or one-third. Now, we have legislation specifically for the women. They now need to see the advancement that this House has made, and the country should know. The other day, I saw a Judge rush to give an injunction. In fact, it was the first injunction that was given against this House. That this House had not done certain things that were expected in the Fifth Schedule. Sometimes, judges should also wait for the National Assembly to express itself. We are not retired brains; we are very active. For now, I hope those of us who are in that bracket of the marginalised, youth, women and persons living with disabilities, can now engage each other. Sooner or later, I suspect that Hon. Kioni will also amend the same legislation to provide for men because they are also marginalised in this country.
