    "content": "For the others who are coming, I will always be there. Madam Deputy Speaker, as the Speaker said earlier that we can take this opportunity. Allow me to take the opportunity to congratulate my neighbour - Machakos neighbours Nairobi County - Sen. Agnes Kavindu Muthama for being elected. Madam Deputy Speaker, as it was said earlier by Sen. Omanga from Nairobi Delegation, Sen. Kavindu Muthama was a Jubilee Party member. She is on loan to Wiper Democratic Party. However, she is still ours. We are very proud of that election. It is the first election of meaning that has shown what unity can do. We saw party leaders together. Sen. Wetangula was there with his Forum for the Restoration of Democracy (FORD) - Kenya troop. His Excellency Musalia Mudavadi was there with the Amani National Coalition (ANC) troop. Sen. Gideon Moi was in support. Maybe, that is why maybe today, her jacket is very colorful. She is wearing all the party colours that represent all those parties. However, I do not know what yellow represents though it is ‘kambasome’. We are grateful and proud you have come. You have set the tone and showed you can have a campaign that is not about tribe, but issues-based. It was not insults, but encouragement. This signals a new way of doing our politics. This is what we have been doing. My slogan has always been ‘siasa safi’. That you do not have to return an insult with an insult, but rather with an encouragement. Congratulations, Sen. Kavindu Muthama. It is a good thing for women. We have achieved the gender parity and we have seen women celebrating. Our claim to democracy is tainted when half of the team is out of the pitch. This is why we have men in this House who support gender parity. This is why I would like to advise the ladies - you all came with shukas today - this fight you will not win on your own, but must involve the men. The only man with a shuka was Sen. Olekina which is because he wears the Maasai shukas. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
