We have four men and four women. But as a country we are still not doing well enough. We still have a chance to reach the two- thirds gender rule that is enshrined in our Constitution. At the same time we had something to smile about today, when two ladies were appointed to State House; that is Madam Munira and Madam Kanze Dena. We want to thank and congratulate the President and the ladies for being appointed to these positions. I am sure they are not going to disappoint. I can see that my time is up. I support the President’s Speech and encourage each one of us to live with the spirit of peace, unity and be the leading light in this endeavor."}
