    "content": "(Kandara, UDA): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have just come from my constituency to also say goodbye and do some last activities with the constituents as I seek their approval. I am told this House has approved my nomination as a Cabinet Secretary. I take this opportunity to extremely thank my colleagues. I am grateful for their approval and favourable consideration from all Members across board. I love this job. I will miss my job as a Member of Parliament. Therefore, it is not surprising that I was in the constituency when the Clerk of this House told me to remember to come. I know that this 13th Parliament is just starting and while I exit, I am truly grateful to the people of Kandara Constituency for finding it fit to give me three terms. I will be surrendering the third term for purposes of a by-election. It is an unusual achievement for a woman to be elected for three terms. Therefore, I would like to commend women Members of Parliament who have been elected, even on their first terms. I hope that they can be able to retain their seats and continue serving constituencies in those capacities. I have served, grown and trained through the women movement and it would be right, fair and proper for me to speak a bit about that. I am very proud of the women movement in this country and I know it is fairly down around this time. As women leaders, we need to support the women movement that has grown some of us. I also look forward to seeing more women in this Parliament because even as I exit, the numbers are not sufficient. 29 women The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
