(Ms.) Joyce Emanikor","speaker":{"id":1092,"legal_name":"Joyce Akai Emanikor","slug":"joyce-akai-emanikor"},"content":"We should not hear issues of “ punda amechoka ” when it comes to meeting that constitutional requirement yet we are clamouring for constitutional reforms which are very costly. We are talking of a three-tier government. We are also talking of a referendum, which is very costly. We are talking of reforming the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), and many other reforms that we want to take into consideration. I congratulate the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education for meeting this requirement. I congratulate Nyeri County because I know half of its county executive members are women including the chief officers. We urge the rest of the electorate in Kenya to consider women for leadership positions."}
