    "content": "Hon. Speaker, during the Group of Seven (G7) Strategic Plan launch that happened earlier today, our President reaffirmed his commitment to advancing the Two-Thirds Gender Principle. His words echo through the corridors of power that he is committed to achieving gender parity. This resolve, expressed at the Safari Park Hotel, ignites hope to the women of Kenya. In the famous words of Hellen Reddy, “I am woman, let me roar.” it is time for the Two-Thirds Gender Principle to be enacted in Kenya. I wish to congratulate women Members of this House for the commendable job they are doing in their counties and constituencies, and affirm our support in working closely together to develop our country at large. It is a true statement that, “ kina mama wakipewanafasi, wanachapa kazi kweli kweli”. I also want to recognise, “He for She champions” led by our very own, the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, for recognising the exemplary performance of women governors and making a proposal that all governor positions should be reserved for women. For that, we commend him."
