    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate the Mover of this Motion, Ms. Ndung'u. The Motion is timely. This being an election year, I wish to concentrate my contribution to the issue of violence against women, particularly those aspiring for political positions in this country. I urge the Government to provide security to such women because they are exercising their democratic rights of participating in election. They want to participate in transacting business in this House next year. Kenyan women have woken up. Next year, they want to fill up this House. No amount of intimidation or violence will stop them from focusing on that particular goal. We are requesting the Commissioner of Police to work round the clock and ensure that they have security, so that they can campaign peacefully. About three weeks ago, His Excellency the President launched a campaign dubbed \" Zuia Noma \". I hope, in that spirit, the Government, and the responsible departments, can ensure that they campaign freely and peacefully, so that, next year, we have a more representative Parliament than the Ninth Parliament. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
