    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion - THAT, the Senate notes the report of the Senate Delegation to the 63rd Commission on the Status of Women (CSW63) held in the United Nations Headquarters, New York, USA, from 11th to 22nd March, 2019, laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 9th July, 2019. Allow me to give some background on this. This year’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW63) was held in New York on 11th to 22nd March, 2019. I was greatly honoured to join the following great women Senators who formed the delegation to the CSW63. We had Sen. Kihika, Sen. Dullo, Sen. Kwamboka, Sen. Pareno, Sen. Shiyonga and Sen. Iman and I was the luckiest Senator in the history of this country to lead this delegation as a true champion on issues of women as well as issues of people with disability. Our delegation was competently accompanied by Ms. Nyawira Kamau, who was the secretary to the delegation. On behalf of the entire delegation, I want to give a special mention to Ms. Nyawira Kamau. I have been a legislator since 2013 and I have gone to many high level engagements around the world, chaired many meetings and had preparatory notes prepared but I have never seen a parliamentary staff go out of her way to produce notes, logistics memos and ensure that every Member is okay as Ms. Nyawira did. The Members asked me to give a special commendation to Ms. Nyawira Kamau for what she did for us. This should probably not be on record but this trip helped me to realise that Members of a delegation deserve to be sorted out with certain things which I have never known for all these years that I have travelled. I commend her and I wish her well as she continues to work here. Indeed, the Senate has a top cream of professionals and I want to thank the leadership of the Senate secretariat for providing that leadership. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
