    "content": "Sen. Veronica Maina, I may not direct the male Senators to wear African attires and attend the function. Nonetheless, they have heard you and I know they are very reasonable men. Having heard you, I know exactly how they will respond. I urge our male Senators to support the women Senators since we have so much influence in this country. The very little acts that we do will go a long way to encourage other to emulate what we do. You can imagine, if all the Parliamentarians converge at KICC tomorrow, donning African attires. The message will be taken with open arms. It will encourage quite a number of people to embrace African attire. Mine is to urge you, male Senators, to support the cause. I cannot direct because it is beyond the powers of the Speaker. Kindly, let us show the country that, indeed, as Africans, we can dress ourselves and look more beautiful than when we are in suits. When I was elected Speaker, the first trip I took was to London, to fit the Speaker’s official attire. I did it with a heavy heart. To me, Independence means exactly that; independence. We got our Independence from the British. However, everything we do is still British. I think time has come for us to slowly and in a very gradual manner, regain what is truly independent. I urge you, male Senators, if we could make ourselves available tomorrow and not just available, but available donning the African wear. That will be a very big statement that the world will freeze and watch. The next Statement is by Sen. Osotsi. STATUS OF NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL INCLUSIVE PROJECT IN VIHIGA COUNTY"
