    "content": "need to support the framework that we were given by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) yesterday, because we are Members of this Union. Kenya is a member of this Union. They are coming up with a very good framework that we need to stand as political leaders and Kenyans to support this framework because there is no shortcut about it. When I hear some political leaders saying that the issue of representation of women in Kenya should be progressive, are we being honest? When is the deadline? In our Constitution, we are given space but the implementation of it is a problem. As we debate this Motion today, it is my prayer to all elected leaders to see that there is need for us to act. The deadline was supposed to be 27th August, 2015. Our structure will show how the issue of women representation will be implemented. It is becoming a problem. It is not until we stand as women, Senators and Members of the National Assembly to support policies that will end the problems that are facing women generally or women politicians. I do not want to add much, because much has been spoken by my senior Senators, the likes of Sen. Mugo. She has really articulated issues of Beijing. These are the five issues which were under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). I am happy that they are here today to also share with us. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you."
