Therefore, the 50-50 you are seeing of the Senators is a reflection of the manifesto of our party leader. It is not a coincidence, but a deliberate action. I have been a gender rapporteur for gender parity. The issue and question of gender parity is a question for political parties. Wiper Democratic Party has led the way and we are going to lead the way. Just follow us.

On the Motion of extension, I also sit as a Member of the Committee; it surprises me a little when I read some comments elsewhere, which I will not quote that there are people who think that our role as the Senate is perfunctory. I think it is belittling this House. County assemblies had been given 90 days. In fact, in the programme of the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, we had slotted 45 days for Parliament.

Wako sat. In the process of interrogating those issues, we actually discovered many more things. Speaking to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), it appears to us that not only as responsible Senators but as good lawyers, we must inform this House on the process.
