    "content": " I have no apologies to make. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I want to inform the Leader of the Majority Party that I have no apologies to make for taking a very good political stand. I also stand here today to join the family of the late Grace following her untimely demise. When we were growing up, we read the history of Kenya and we always found the name of Grace among the women trailblazers and pioneers. Her achievement is commendable. She laid the foundation for the achievement of women leadership in this country. And because of what she did, the people of Funyula Constituency, which by then was Busia Central, were the first to elect a woman leader in the entire Mulembe nation. She did not need the two-thirds gender rule for her to be elected. I always challenge women leaders and aspirants to go out there and slug it out for themselves because quite a number of men are weak candidates. Do not fear them! As the County Woman Representative for Migori County has clearly stated, it is doable. It is a testimony to the likes of the Temporary Speaker, Hon. Martha. It is only men who hang their boots because ladies do not have boots. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
