"content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to extend heartfelt congratulations to Major General Fatuma Ahmed on her historic appointment as the first female service commander of the Kenya Air Force and Major General in Kenya. This milestone achievement not only marks a significant moment in the annals of our military history, but also stands as a beacon of inspiration for women across our nation. As the Chairperson of the Kenya Women Senators Association (KEWOSA), I take immense pride in Major General Fatuma Ahmed’s accomplishment. Her appointment not only reflects the growing recognition of women’s capabilities in traditionally male-dominated sectors, but also underscores the strides being made towards gender equality and women’s empowerment in our country. The KEWOSA has long been a leader in advocating for women’s empowerment and gender equality and championing the rights of marginalised groups. Major General Fatuma Ahmed’s ascent to this esteemed position aligns perfectly with KEWOSA’s core values and serves as a testament to the talent, dedication, and capabilities of Kenyan women. Major General Ahmed’s exemplary leadership, professionalism and dedication to service have made her a role model not just for women, but for all Kenyans. Her achievements pave the way for future generations of women to pursue their dreams and ambitions without intimidations. In conclusion, I call upon the august House to join me in congratulating Major General Fatuma Ahmed on her well-deserved appointment."
