"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I would like to thank the male Member who thought it wise that we celebrate this trailblazer, Hon. Grace Onyango. Much has been said on the role she played. It is unfortunate that in this day and age, we are still scrambling for the affirmative action seats. I want to say that the men then were more considerate than the men we have now. We need to do better than the 28 constituency seats that women are holding currently and, maybe, double it to around 60. The role women play in our society is very well documented and known. Hon. Grace Onyango will forever live within the hearts of many Kenyans in terms of the leadership qualities she displayed. We pray that many women will take up her role and be courageous as she was and that men will support women in leadership. Thank you."
