    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to welcome and congratulate my sister, Sen. Kavindu Muthama, to this House. First, I thank the President for supporting her candidature. Secondly, I thank the former Vice President, hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, who stood by her despite all the intimidation that she faced. What Sen. Kavindu Muthama went through is what many women face when they go for elective positions. Having witnessed the campaign that was conducted by Sen. Kavindu Muthama, I am convinced that she is a leader and a strong woman. The sky is the limit. I am sure that she will fit into the shoe of our former colleague, the Late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. I saw the confidence in her when she told the Governor of Machakos County that she is going to carry out her oversight responsibility well. That was a good sign that she is right for the position, so I welcome her. The country is now sure that women can be elected to such positions. This House has now met the two-thirds gender rule. I welcome Sen. Kavindu Muthama to this House. I hope that she will achieve a lot and make sure that she delivers her responsibility as an elected Senator for Machakos County."
