    "content": "Mbithuka. I happen to have met them during the interview, and I can confirm that they are highly qualified nominees. I wish them all the best. As it has been said, the National Gender and Equality Commission, which was established to promote gender equality, faces several challenges. One of the challenges is limited resources. In fact, NGEC often operates with inadequate financial and human resources. They usually have very few staff and are allocated meagre resources. Due to the limited resources, they are unable to deliver. It is my hope that this time round, they will be given enough resources to enable them to deliver. There are many issues that they are supposed to address. There is the two-thirds gender rule, which has never been achieved. There is also the issue of the boy-child, which is a problem. In my opinion, femicide could be attributed to the fact that we are not empowering the boy-child, and they feel left behind. Because of the feeling that the girl-child has been empowered, the boy-child experiences a sense of inadequacy when they interact with the girl- child. This, in turn, has led to increase in femicide cases. However, I believe that if we allocate NGEC enough resources, they will deliver. I would like to single out Michael Nzomo Mbithuka, who is an albino and very qualified. He has worked in various organisations and has delivered very well. He is also good in resource mobilisation, which is essential for such a commission, and I am sure he will deliver. So, I support the two nominees and congratulate them."
