    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in recognising the presence of the public relations officers from Nyamira County Assembly noting that their Senator has since become a presidential candidate. I thank your office for the steps that it has taken to make sure that the Senate is a learning ground for the counties to ensure that we teach them on how things are done. I hope that they will take greetings to Nyamira County. On behalf of the Kenya Women Parliamentarians Association (KEWOPA), I welcome the students from St. Joseph Secondary School to the Senate. I encourage them that the future can only get better. The Constitution that we have is very progressive in ensuring that women’s rights are entrenched. Today, the High Court ruled that the not more than two thirds gender rule must be enacted by Parliament within 60 days or Parliament will stand dissolved. We are therefore making steps and so I encourage the girls from Taita Taveta County that they will be seated where I am in a few years. It can only get better in the county assemblies. There are many opportunities for them and the sky is not even the limit. Welcome to the Senate."
