    "content": "I am glad that for the first time, Kenyans have been elected to sit in various committees of the IPU. I remember that it was very hard to be elected at that time. Delegates elected people they were familiar with. Part of the familiarity came out of the fact that other nations would send a permanent delegation to the IPU until their voices were heard. They were able to network with the rest of the membership. As a result, they created a name in the Assembly and were recognised and even elected when elections came. So, I am glad that we have the first Member, Sen. Susan Kihika, who was elected to sit in the women committee as the Vice-President. I hope this is truly the beginning of the right step towards ensuring that our foothold in IPU, as a nation, is felt so that we can eventually go for bigger positions in the future."
