    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report and to congratulate the team that went for a good Report. Listening to Sen. Wetangula, I am very pleased that this Senate has global perspective because sometimes I get worried that maybe we have too many of our issues that we forget our regional leadership as a country. The fact that this country has made a lot of progress in peace, governance, politics and other areas of our social economy, I am glad that the Senator has alluded to a lot of the leadership that we as a country can provide to the region and the geopolitical space that we occupy. That is very important. With regards to the composition of teams, that is also a very important observation. This may have happened around the time when the House was not very well constituted. In terms of the women’s conferences, we had an equal number of women from both sides of the House. I am the Chair of Women Senators and we made sure that we had two women from both sides of the House. I am glad that that has been restated. We were surprised to find that that had changed but thanks to our Speaker because that has been rectified. With regards to regional participation, I think Kenyan delegations do a very fantastic job in the conferences. Our delegations from the National Assembly and the Senate usually have tremendous experience. Just a few days ago, we attended a conference which I think the Kenyan delegation did a wonderful job. 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."
