Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I welcome them, I also recognize the fact that they are women. It is important a young nation like South Sudan started by recognizing the importance of all actors in the society and the participation of women leadership. I say this because it also seems to be the season of women leadership in the world.

So, I believe women leaders will take this moment including those sitting here from South Sudan to provide the right leadership and use the soft power that comes with motherhood in dealing with the issues of conflict in our country and South Sudan. We do not want to see South Sudan continue in the situation it is. We believe we will continue The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
