    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to join you in welcoming the students from Maliku Secondary School in Kitui County. I assure them that they have a great leader here who represents them in this Senate, Sen. Wambua. I would like to assure them that the political future of this country belongs to women. I encourage those great ladies seated on the public gallery to make sure that they join political arenas in their future whether as a political person in terms of running for a Member of the National Assembly, Senator in this great House or any other position. I have a dream that one day, the President of this country will be a woman. We have the numbers and we need to take advantage of that. I guarantee you, ladies, that you have a great opportunity. If you look at the trends of school performances, girls’ schools have been doing well. I encourage you to create linkages. In life, it is the linkages that you make with your colleagues that matters in the future. Ensure that you do not lose your colleagues along the way as you go to universities and to work. Also, you should make sure that you hold each other’s hand. The only way women can succeed in this country is if we hold each other’s hand. We have sung about the two-third gender rule for too long. It is high time women decided this is our time and vote for each other. Kindly, encourage your parents to tick on any name of a woman who will be on the ballot paper because she is going to make you very proud. We are tired of all these men that we keep on “recycling.” It is time for women leadership in this country, and I see a great future in this country."
