    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the Commission on the Status of Women. Personally, I would like to say that the role of women in society and households cannot be understated. It is important to promote gender equality. Kenya has made significant strides on women empowerment. In all our sectors, we now demand that women are represented. In almost every decision being made, women must be there. I remember the quote from Obama which said that any nation that does not educate its women will not succeed. Kenya is not badly off in this area. Right now we should emphasise the education of women in our primary, secondary and even tertiary education. Many women are now making headway in being Chief Executive Officers. We would like to celebrate many women who have become Vice Chancellors like Prof. Olive Mugenda of Kenyatta University. We are making headway and several women are now Principal Secretaries and we would like to thank the Government for that. As I wind up because of time, I would like to say that I support this Motion and request that we all support it."
