    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also add my voice in congratulating Prof. Micere Mugo, a gallant woman leader. We tend to look at leadership only at the political level, but Prof. Micere Mugo is definitely one of the greatest leaders in our country and in the region, if not the world for women especially, who the girls and other women would like to emulate. I salute Prof. Micere Mugo; she is not only an academician who also won the Nyerere Academic Award, where she gave a fantastic lecture in Dar es Salaam but she also came here and gave a lecture in the University of Nairobi. She is also a devoted mother who has cared very well for her family. She raised two wonderful girls and they have excelled just like her. Unfortunately, she lost one of them but also even at the time of Ms. Njeri’s death, she had reached very high heights and worked in Japan. I am proud to be associated with her, not only as a woman leader, but she also happens `to be my sister-in-law. I share a name with her; her husband is my husband’s younger brother. I have admired Prof. Micere Mugo from way back; even when she had a lot of difficulties in her career, with the administration and the Government, she never lost herself. She remained dignified, admirable, caring for family and friends and even when she lived out there, she still kept in touch with her family. I want to also ask my colleague here to pass our congratulations when he goes to the USA. I hope that when she comes back, our Government will recognize and honour her as an outstanding scholar, leader and a good role model for this country, not just for women, but for the men as well.
