    "content": "the Cabinet, where we have seven out of 22 Cabinet Secretaries being female, and in the Judiciary, where we have a woman serving as the Deputy Chief Justice, and another in the Supreme Court and about 50 per cent of Judges of the High Court being women. Just recently, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) nominated Hon. Lady Justice Martha Koome as Kenya’s next Chief Justice which, if approved, will see one arm of Government led by a woman. It is our hope that the women in these positions will make a transformative difference in engendering the reforms in their respective institutions. It is also our hope that having women in leadership positions will indeed be of benefit to the women of Kenya and the general populace. As I conclude, Hon. Speaker, in the words of Hillary Clinton, I quote: \"To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful, deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.\" Hon. Speaker, it is my hope that young girls in Tanzania and the larger East African region will draw inspiration from the leadership of Her Excellency President Samia and aspire to be great leaders of our countries in the near future. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
