    "content": "expected that to be tabled or discussed on the floor of this House. What is there that can be harnessed to support women in leadership? In Kenya as has been alluded, a woman has a 50 per cent chance of winning whenever she vies. It is true because the population so dictates. Women are over 50 per cent of the population in Kenya. What is the problem? Why do women shy off from electing fellow women? That is what should be studied and analyzed. What is the reason? We know that by nature, and it is a gift to be a woman, and be given that capacity to bring forth the human life. You need to take time to nurture the human life to be complete, and that cannot be ignored at all. There is no time that women may think they are ignored, because men cannot be able to do that, since nature has not facilitated them. So, that time must be spent in doing so, otherwise we will have a problem of negative population growth in Kenya like we are now having in Europe and other countries. Do you want to go into that? The important thing is that, when you look at the Senate of Kenya, out of 20 nominated Members of the Senate, 18 are women. Only two are men. So, what is the cry all about? The important thing is to encourage women in this country, Africa and elsewhere in the world to be bold enough to stand and be counted. It is not a matter of having excessive resources. You will be surprised at how many men go into elections with minimal resources. All they are elected for is their ideas and ability to communicate. I believe women are better communicators than men. If you were to take statistics of how many words a human being speaks, you will be surprised. A woman speaks over 200 words in a minute while a man speaks only a 100 words. That is the difference. Women are good communicators. Use that ability to find your footing in the political leadership. My question is: Is leadership only in politics? No. I believe important issues on women and leadership were properly disseminated during the three-day workshop that was held in Dar es Salaam. Stop baby crying, come out and be counted."
