    "content": "together with our partners amongst them the Parliament of Kenya, the Government of Kenya and other non-state actors. This year, the Women’s Day theme is “Each for Equal”, which is drawn from a notion of collective individualism. I take this opportunity to urge all Members of Parliament to reaffirm the spirit of the Beijing Conference with renewed commitment and pledge for greater efforts towards promotion of gender equality in all spheres of life and, more specifically, by enacting laws that promote and advocate for gender equality. I wish to emphasise that gender balance is not a women's issue. It is an economic issue and that advocacy, inclusive of mind-sets and tangible action, are required from all of us to ensure we achieve our goal. Hon. Speaker, finally, I take this opportunity to invite all Members to a breakfast meeting to celebrate the International Women’s Day tomorrow, Thursday, 5th March 2020, in the New Restaurant, New Wing, Main Parliament Buildings at 8.00 a.m. Thank you."
