    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, those who suffer the most when it comes to a disaster are the women whose houses are burnt, the ones who are working in Gikomba and Kariorkor. They are the ones affected most by that law. Women must be on the table. In fact, a friend of mine called Sylvia sent me a text and said that in as much we applaud men who make space for women at the table, we must actually applaud men who enable or help facilitate women to make their own table. It is not about us giving space for you to squeeze with us. You can make that table. If you are majority of this country, women should not be asking for a favour but for a right. In business I have said that 30 per cent and we have seen them scaling the heights. They are Chief Executive Officers of huge companies who are doing extremely well. For example, look at Jane Karuku at the East African Breweries Limited (EABL). She is doing an amazing job. Look at Sylvia Mulinge and the rest of the team at Safaricom Kenya Ltd. Many of them are making this country proud and they are doing better than men. A poll was realesed yesterday that said in terms of leadership, 43 per cent of Kenyans believe women are more trusted when it comes to refusing corruption and being sensitive to social issues, which is true."
