    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, I wish to add to what one speaker said yesterday on the issue of the two-third gender rule. The Head of State spoke well but he forgot the 52 per cent of the population of Kenya; the women. We have a lot of women out there that are qualified, able and equal to the task. We pray that the President will get this information and remember the women and deliver to them the two-thirds gender rule before he accomplishes his last term. We will be forever grateful for that kind of reward. Otherwise, I am sure that all the women have participated well. Recently, there was a move in Rwanda which is doing better than Kenya. Kenya leads in the region in terms of many issues, but it is lagging behind in terms of implementing the two-thirds gender rule. In Rwanda, 64 per cent of women are in the Legislature and in leadership positions in many of their institutions. We pray that our country will benchmark with those practices. Rwanda’s economy is also growing fast which means that women are able to bring great ideas on the table. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I commend the great Speech that our President gave. It was one of a kind. I support."
