    "content": "When this Bill is passed, a girl in Kirinyaga County somewhere who never thought that she would sit in the august House will be sitting here one day because of what we shall have done as Members of this House. I am so thankful to all Members and even the leadership of this House for letting this be something that will happen during our lifetime. According to Ms. Sara Longwe who is an expert in gender and development, empowerment means that everyone irrespective of gender has equal power to influence their destiny and the society. You realise that when some Members are nominated, it does not mean that Parliament is the end of the game. As I will demonstrate, some of them were here in this Parliament but it was a stepping stone that catapulted them to bigger things like Hon. Njoki Ndung’u, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and our very own Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Hon. Rachel Shebesh. All of them are products of having been nominated. They went through Parliament which I believe is a process of teaching us to become good in articulation and legislative process."
