    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I congratulate Hon. Jaldesa and Mr Michael Nzomo Mbithuka – but especially Hon. Jaldesa who will be the Chairperson. This is a very sensitive time in Kenya, especially the season we are in where GBV has become the order of the day. Many young women are being harassed and killed. I have a lot of faith in Hon. Rehema Jaldesa, who is a well-known leader, a woman and a mother who is passionate about anything to do with female leaders and women in the country. I know very well that with her zeal, she will transform that Commission. For them to be relevant, effective and bring down the injustices that women go through, we must allocate enough funds so that they can do what they are supposed to do. It would be unfair for me to sit down without mentioning the issue of people who are speaking negatively about women leaders. Everywhere you go, there are men leaders who criticise women just because they are women. They keep on saying that so-and-so is a woman. We are proud women leaders of Kenya. We thank God for people like our Leader of the Majority Party who always supports women. For those cowardly men who can only talk about our gender, let us face each other in the campaigns and elections. But do not use our gender against us. We were created as women, and we are very proud women leaders. I support the Motion."
