    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I thank the Mover who is the able Chair of the KEWOPA, together with the one who has seconded the Report, for the work well done. When you look at our Parliament, Kenya is ranked very lowly in women representation in Parliament in East Africa. The latest statistics show that Kenya is position six with 22 per cent of women in the National Assembly and 31 per cent in the Senate. Rwanda is leading in the pack with 61 per cent followed by Tanzania at 36 per cent, Burundi at 36 per cent, Uganda at 34 per cent and South Sudan at 28.5 per cent. So, we are the lowest in East Africa in women representation in the National Assembly. The Government has tried, but more emphasis should be put in the implementation of some good policies, especially policy on free education and the issuance of free sanitary towels,"
