A constitutional amendment bill aimed at enhancing women’s representation in parliament through the introduction of special seats has passed its second reading in the House of Representatives.
On Tuesday, lawmakers were divided on the bill.
While some fully supported it, others called for a more critical review, highlighting the constitutional provision that cautions against enacting discriminatory laws.
The bill had previously failed during the constitution amendment process in the 9th assembly when it was voted down by parliament.
