    "content": "Our country is a signatory to so many treaties and agreements on gender issues. Kenya should not be lagging behind because of not having passed the gender rule. I have been privileged to go to the Commission on Status of Women (CSW) in New York where Kenya has always been represented for almost 15 years and promised that we would come back as a well composed august House. However, these have only been promises. I will be happy to report in the next CSW that we have attained the two-thirds gender principle. A country like Kenya runs on two engines like an aeroplane. If we have to reach our destination, then I believe this is the time for us to go through this and pass it as soon as possible, so that Kenya will have achieved and attained what all our neighbours have attained. After all, Kenya has achieved so much and we are a leading democracy in Africa. We are also among the leading countries with rapid development and economic growth. We need to enact this 2018 Bill without any more delay, noting that we are even outside the limits given by the Supreme Court which was up to August 2015."
