    "content": "Before I do so, I would like to take a bit of my time as one of the Senators here to congratulate Sen. Agnes Kavindu Muthama for being elected to this Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I congratulate still the party leader of Wiper Democratic Movement Kenya (WDM-K) hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka for having worked tirelessly to bring women on board through what he is doing with the party. I hope that other parties and party leaders are watching just to copy and paste so that women are uplifted in this particular arena. I want also to thank the people of Machakos County for having tirelessly worked around and demonstrating that a woman matters, not only in the community, but also in a country and in leadership positions. Thank you, Kamama and welcome. I am your Chairperson of Kenya Women Senators Associations (KEWOSA). Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I welcome you even in that KEWOSA so that you feel you are part of us. We are sound, clever, clean and sharp ladies in the Senate here. That is why you are seeing us even extending time to sit in this House and discuss issues of this country. We are saying that aluta continua. You are a blessed woman and Kenyan women are blessed. I now contribute on what the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights has requested on the extension of time. I would like to say that the matter before us is very important. Through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), Kenyans are watching us to make sure that they get a certified and improved document that is supposed to deliver what Kenyans have researched and are looking forward to."
