    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion on the matters of delegation of the 62nd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. Let me start by joining my colleagues by saying that we can never ignore empowerment of women. I would love to support what our colleagues said that empowering a woman is like empowering a whole nation. I would like to appreciate what the Government has done so far. Today we have women CSs, PSs and CASs. We also appreciate what the Government is trying to do on matters of empowering women in the grassroots. Though we appreciate that, we also know that the girl-child in some corners of this country is affected in education because of water challenge. We need to narrow the gap between the girl-child and the boy-child. Therefore, I support this Motion. It is good to empower women. We have previously seen women who did fantastic work. We cannot forget the late Wangari Maathai, who did fantastic work on environmental matters. Therefore, empowering women is going to empower the nation. We appreciate any action that the Government takes to make sure that women are empowered and they have more opportunities."
