    "content": "Strength of a Woman. This strength of a woman sung by Shaggy is also in my first language. In my first language, we say that a woman is a very strong person. She will carry a load on her head, a child on her back, another in her tummy and also carry all the problems of what she is carrying in her head and soldier on. A woman is a very strong being and without their strength and love, some of us would have perished at our most vulnerable ages. So, it is appropriate to celebrate them. The world governments, both national and county and institutions, should do more. They should not just talk about celebrating women internationally. We should do something that adds value or something tangible in the life of women. For example, if we are a proper legislative House, this is the day we should declare gender parity using legislation and declare that Sen. Shiyonga is the Senator of Kakamega County unopposed. She is already here as a Nominated Senator. It would not hurt or harm anybody if in celebrating IWD, we declared and talked to her opponents, including Sen. Malalah, that she becomes the Senator unopposed. That would be a good way of celebrating her. We could also declare you, Madam Temporary Speaker, together with Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, that the next elections become a walk over to both of you. This House would gain. We would not lose anything. It would also go a long way in actualising the celebration of the importance of women to society. I take this opportunity to celebrate my wife, who is the pillar of my life. I also celebrate my mother who has stood with me all these years and my daughters, who will take over from where I will have left at. I also celebrate my son and hope he also prays to be an honorary woman like me."
