    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for this great information. It is unfortunate when roads are mentioned, some people become jittery. However, I mentioned it in good faith. Thank you, Sen. Sakaja, for mentioning that ugly incident where a woman was sexually assaulted and harassed occurred along Prof. Wangari Mathaai’s Road. We all remember the late Prof. Wangari Maathai was a great lady worth celebrating because she also went through a lot of challenges protecting our forests during her life time. Right now, the whole world is now grappling with the issues of climate change and yet she was beaten left, right and centre because of trying to bring on board a very critical issue and inform this country that trees are important. Sen. Sakaja, remember to plant trees along that road to commemorate that this incident happened on the road named after a great environmentalist. It will also create awareness that women are important and, at the same time, they are protectors of our environment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I end by celebrating all ladies in this House, particularly those who are in the Speaker’s Panel, including you, because they have done a great job for us. I also celebrate the nominated lady Senators and the three that were elected. I am sure, God willing, that the Thirteen Parliament will have more female Senators. We have seen what we have achieved as female Senators. I am very proud to be here in the Twelfth Parliament as a nominated Senator. I also celebrate the fact that when the history of this Senate will be written, it will be noted that I was given an opportunity to serve as the Chairperson for the Standing Committee on Education. Lastly, I also celebrate each and every woman out there, because they have achieved a lot for this country. I support."
