Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon of some visitors who are part of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Expert Mission to Kenya on Women’s Participation and Representation in Parliament. The IPU, as you all know, is the world organization of parliaments and is a global forum for parliamentary dialogue, cooperation and action. The IPU advances democracy and assists parliaments and parliamentarians throughout the world to fulfill their mandates. The IPU facilitates parliamentary debate, dialogue and cooperation and also promotes and defends democracy and the rule of law while assisting parliaments in coping with an ever-growing international agenda that is relevant to their duties. Seated in the Speaker’s Gallery this afternoon are members of the IPU Expert Mission to Kenya on Women’s Participation and Representation in Parliament. I request each member of the Mission to stand when called out so that they may be acknowledged in the Senate tradition. The members of the Expert Mission are:- (1) Ms. Betty Amongi, MP; Member of Parliament from Uganda and a member of the IPU’s Coordinating Committee of Women Parliamentarians; (2) Prof. Drudre Dahlerup – this name is not part of the medical ones, but it is equally challenging – from Stockholm University. She is an IPU Consultant on gender and quotas."
