    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me a chance to second the Motion that has been moved by my colleague, Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. From the onset, I congratulate her and the delegation which attended the Summit, and for having compiled a very important report and presented it to this House. I also commend them for putting forward recommendations to us, as a House, so that we can find out how we can implement the Report. I support the Report. I thank all the supporters of this initiative; all international organisations. I also thank KEWOPA and the leadership of Parliament for giving, mostly women, a chance to attend these international summits and conferences so that we can learn. Most of these fora accord women leaders a platform to discuss women empowerment politically, socially and financially. They also give a chance for the women leaders to learn from each other, exchange experiences and learn different legislation that have been passed in different countries which empower women. These fora also give a chance to the women leaders to also follow up on different conventional agreements and summit agreements that will go a long way in helping women to empower other women and our girls. This is a very important Report. As a country, we also need to adopt different legislation and push for the implementation of the existing legislations that will go a long way in enhancing equity in our country. The issue of political parties support for women aspirants also needs to be looked into. It should include mentorship of other women so that they can take up political positions. With those remarks, I beg to second this Motion. 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"
