    "content": "to have solutions. I remember Professor Wangari Maathai as a leader. I know that Members have alluded to what it is that she did in terms of being the first woman professor or the first woman who did one thing or the other. I remember Professor Wangari Maathai and this is why I support that, indeed, we should name Karura Forest after her. She clearly helped us to understand that leadership is gender neutral. Hon. (Prof.) Wangari Maathai told us that when looking for a person to put in leadership, we should look for their vision, thoughts, courage and boldness. They must also be servants of the people. She also told us that leadership is from the shoulder upwards. It is in somebody’s conviction. Truly, it is a question of their heart. For this reason, it is befitting to name Karura Forest after Prof. Wangari Maathai. That should be permanently etched so that generations to come are inspired to have women professors and leaders. They will seek to ensure that we do not bar or stop anyone from making a difference on account of their gender. I support. It is a timely and, indeed, commendable request."
