    "content": "very important Motion. I would also like to congratulate the dynamic young Senator from Murang’a and Nakuru, Sen. Martha Wangari, for seconding this Motion very ably. Before I proceed, I would like women to celebrate their victories. To say that women have not occupied top echelons in party politics in this country is to ignore history. Some of the very brave women like Phoebe Asiyo went high up. Grace Onyango was the first woman to be elected directly from Kisumu Town. She was elected on merit as a politician who had been the first woman mayor in this country. Margaret Kenyatta was a mayor in the city of Nairobi, notwithstanding the fact that she might have enjoyed the advantage of being the sister of a President. Nonetheless, she performed on her own right as a woman. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember in 1996, as we sat down at the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and debated how best to promote the participation of women in politics and to challenge male domination in politics in a progressive manner, we deliberately nominated Ms. Charity Ngilu as a presidential candidate."
