    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I also rise to support the appointment of Dr. Susan Jemtai Koech to become the next Deputy Governor of CBK. Today, being Women's Day, this is a major milestone for this country. I would also want to thank the administration of Kenya Kwanza. They have indeed shown that women have shattered the glass ceilings. They have indeed demonstrated that their commitment and the charter they signed with women was not a campaign gimmick, but proof of their commitment towards empowering women to take up roles in major positions and become major decision makers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will be looking forward to a time when in this country, people will not look at where you come from, your name, your gender, but the qualification. This is the first step in the right direction when we, as a country, say that we will have a woman in the second position of command in one of the most important institutions that monitors this country's economy, the Central Bank of Kenya. My prayer to the leadership of CBK, coming at a time when we are hearing that the former regime ferried billions of dollars in cartons and some of them were coerced to sign or withdraw the money, would be that moving forward, let nobody ever stand again and say that I was coerced or did it under duress because when Kenyans suffer, we all suffer."
