    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will continue. These contributions, aimed at enhancing the status of women and girls across the nation signify a substantial accomplishment. I must implore all chairpersons to prioritize the monitoring and implementation of resolutions passed by the House that are dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls. Furthermore, I extend my congratulations for the commendable work done in directing committee activities. Your efforts have been instrumental in advancing these crucial initiatives. I further wish to applaud all the women governors who are leading the transformation in their counties with vigor and vision. A notable highlight is the recent launch of Homa Bay County's Second International Investment Conference orchestrated by Governor Gladys Wanga during her inaugural term in office. Governor Wanga's achievements in fostering economic growth and international cooperation for her county are both commendable and laudable. Her proactive leadership serves as an inspiring example of the impact that dedicated governance can have on community development and prosperity. I also wish to applaud our three Senators; Sen. Tabitha Keroche, Sen. Kavindu Muthama and Sen. Dullo, for the great work they have shown. I also seize this moment to celebrate the Kenyan women who are elevating our nation's prestige on the global stage through their remarkable contributions in various capacities. Specifically I honour Ms. Joy Ngugi, who has made history by serving as the Senior Presidential Producer in the White House, marking her as the first person of Kenyan descent to occupy this prestigious position. Additionally, I applaud Ms. Doreen Walsweer-Sore for her groundbreaking achievement as the Chief-of-Staff in the Office of the Secretary-General of the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS). Shattering glass ceilings, Mrs. Walsweer-Sore stands as the first woman to ever hold this position since the establishment of the office in 2000. Additionally, I honour the late Prof. Wangari Maathai on this day, being a trailblazer for environmental conservation and women's rights. Her legacy continues to inspire the world, as confirmed by the African Union renaming the African Environment Day, celebrated every 3rd March, of the Prof. Wangari Maathai Day. These milestones not only celebrate the strides our women are making in leadership, but also underscore the importance of gender inclusivity and empowerment at all levels of global governance."
