    "content": "As much as we are hoping that in the near future we will achieve gender parity, I do not think we are going to get it. For example, I have a friend who borrowed money from a bank to build a road after being awarded a tender under the 30 per cent preferential tender rule that favours women, youth and persons with disability. It was when President Obama was coming to Kenya and she was told to do the road quickly, so that by the time Obama came, it would be ready. She was promised to be paid immediately. You can imagine up to now, she has not been paid. There is a lot of delay. We encourage women to take Government contracts, but at the end of it, they suffer so much. The bank from which she borrowed the money is on her neck. Her machines are about to be auctioned because of that delay not forgetting the stress she is suffering with her family."
