    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I have mentioned the issue of mentorship thorough the ‘Girl2 Leader - Lead like a Girl’ Initiative. We made a proposal that this is an initiative that we should start in Kenya in schools and for young girls. We also talked about the importance of showing that all forms of violence against women and girls are emphasized through legislative means and looking for ways of eliminating them. We know that the situation in Kenya for the last couple of months has been the topic over and over again; violence against girls and women yet these are the women we are relying on to build this country. This has to be addressed. The issue of technology is also critical and needs to be addressed and encouraged within the realm of leadership. Kenya also needs to make more effort to reduce the gender gap. In this regard, this particular delegation also had a chance to share about the progress of Kenya in terms of the no more than two-thirds gender rule that is in place and the challenges that we have had in implementing as well as the future prospects that we have to ensure that this Bill finally becomes law and something that is aligned to the Constitution because this is a right that has been given by the Constitution. With those few remarks, I beg to move and request Sen. (Dr.) Milgo to second."
