Nabwala","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you and the rest of the Senators who have welcomed our guests from the IPU. The IPU is a very important forum because it is where parliamentarians meet twice a year to discuss issues affecting the world. I would like to welcome them because their visit to Kenya came at the right time when we, female politicians, were discussing about the one-third gender rule as we struggle to find space. I am sure that we have benefited a lot from the ideas. Owing to that, we can now sit together and deliberate on issues that were raised. I would also like to say that we are a Member at the IPU in the UN Committee. Therefore, we are together. Thank you very much."}
