    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I thank the Chair of the Committee. I congratulate him for a job well done and for bringing such a critical matter on gender and the Kenyan women. This Sessional Paper is very important. There is a lot of diversity. It is talking about diversity and empowering women and the girl child. Where I come from, there is a lot of discrimination in terms of one gender being empowered and another, more so the women, not being empowered. Look at Parliament and the Government. The institutions which are led by women, whether ministers or Members of Parliament, have done well and their contribution is being felt on the ground. In terms of resources, ministries or institutions that are led by women utilise resources well and there is no misappropriation of funds. So, to that effect, I can say confidently that mainstreaming gender is a very important thing. We need to stop this discrimination based on gender.
