    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43, I rise with great pride to notify the House of the incredible achievement of Hon. Hulda Momanyi Hitsley on her historic victory by being elected as a Member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, United States of America (USA), in the recent elections. Hon. Hitsley’s success is a shining example of courage and determination. It brings immense pride not only to her community, but also to the entire nation of Kenya on the unlimited potential of our people to achieve greatness beyond our borders. Her achievement resonates far beyond Minnesota. It is a profound inspiration to women leaders across Africa and Kenya, especially those who aspire to make an impact in public service. Her journey from Nyamemiso Village, Magombo Ward, Nyamira County in Kenya to a prominent legislative position in the USA demonstrates that with ambition, resilience and hard work, there are no limits of what one can achieve. Her victory signals an important step forward for gender inclusion in politics, showing that the barriers of women’s leadership can and must be broken. Hon. Hitsley stands as a role model for young women and girls everywhere who dream of creating positive change within their communities and beyond. I wholeheartedly congratulate her on her well-deserved success. I am doing this on my behalf and that of the Member for Kitutu Masaba, Hon. Clive Gisairo, and the entire Abagusii nation. I wish her every success in the Minnesota House of Representatives. May her leadership continue to inspire future generations of African women and girls to pursue their goals with confidence and purpose. When I was speaking to the Hon. Lady today, she expressed a message of cooperation to every Kenyan leader within these borders and beyond. She promised to work with us, and invited all of us to Minnesota."
