    "content": "In politics, look at Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and the kind of job that she has done. Sen. Farhiya for me is one of the most outstanding Senators in this House. She is diligent and she sponsored with me two Bills, one of which is The Prompt Payment Bill. She has done a lot toegther with the others you have mentioned. Sen. Shiyonga is the most loyal member of my committee. She is always there in between the “scooping” humour, you can see real legislation. We want more women in this House. We want 50 per cent. As I go to conclude, I know I have spoken for long. I was in London last week. Kenyans were uploading about the Kenya Airways Plane that landed during huge crosswinds of about 300 naughts to the east and west. Other airways could not manage it, but it was landed by my friend, Ms. Ruth Karauri, a lady pilot. She was the Captain of that plane. Most people used to say that these careers are not for women; they are for men. I applaud Ruth, and my friend her husband who is vying for Kasarani constituency. I do not know what he participated in, but it is good to mention him as well. She is a lady and she did it. They stood in the shoulders of others like Koki who was in Kenya Airways (KQ), who have gone before them. That is why I am encouraging the ladies in this House to set an example. My young daughter, Emily, must know that there is no ceiling. That, she can be anything that she wants to be when she grows up. That, she can be president of this country. She can be a KQ Captain; that she can lead a big business. It will be done by the example that we set. Madam Temporary Speaker, I, therefore, wish all the women in this country, the women of Nairobi and the women in this House, who are my colleagues and who I am always going to be a champion of, a happy International Women’s Day. We are proud of you and we celebrate you. I thank you."
