    "content": "In short I am saying that there are economic issues and barriers on the face of women as they seek elective leadership. There are also cultural issues which we need to deeply think about and deal with. There are cultural and societal idiosyncrasies about leadership and the role of women in leadership that we need to deal with. This is a solution. I believe that in as much as we have suffered in the circumstances that the people of Kenya took us through, whatever happens whether we come back here or not, the biggest thing that Kenyans will salute us for, is that this critical gender balance that we have been talking about the world over has been achieved in this country. I was in Rwanda a short while ago, and you cannot imagine the percentage of women leaders in the Parliament of Rwanda. We have been to South Africa and the United Kingdom and other developing nations and the matter of gender is no longer a small issue. I want to speak very briefly.
