    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of general topical concern, namely; the imperative need to uphold and advance the rights and status of women in Kenya, particularly as we prepare to celebrate the International Women's Day on Friday, 8th March, 2024. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we approach International Women's Day, I rise to honour the indelible contributions of Kenyan women to our nation's advancement. From the bustling market places to corporate boardrooms and the fertile farmlands, women remain the bedrock of Kenya's social and economic fabric. The Two-Thirds Gender Rule remains a pivotal call to action in our journey towards gender parity in leadership. However, it is imperative to acknowledge the existing gap between this constitutional ideal and its tangible realization. Despite commendable progress, Kenya still grapples with the complete implementation of this fundamental principle. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
