Let me not pursue that line but I am encouraging Kenyans is to elect the right leaders. The reason I think women will make great change in this country is because--- Our development would have reached a greater height if more women were elected into leadership positions. We have a situation whereby more than 50 per cent of the population does not have a say in the decisions that are made in this country. However, we are still struggling with the issue of two-thirds gender rule. It is high time women voted for other women. People are talking about two-thirds gender rule. That should not be difficult because we are more than half of this country. I therefore urge you to encourage the people you have influence over to vote for women for greater change in this country. I thank you."}
