    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, she is now the only Deputy Speaker, both in Senate and in the National Assembly who is a woman and also a Professor. To me, today, the millions of women out there who are watching us, the millions of girls who are in primary and high schools do have a role model in Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. I am sure that today, the girls and women of this country who form almost 52 per cent of the entire Kenyan population will be smiling, saying indeed, a little girl from Keiyo Valley has now become the Deputy Speaker of the Upper House called the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the celebrations will also be because she has been elected, not by one, two, or three senators, but by 67 Senators without a single dissenting voice. Congratulation, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. Most importantly, I am very happy by your academic achievements. You have never gotten a position by tokenism. It is because of your sheer hard work. I have seen your Curriculum Vitae (CV), you have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture and Soil Management, you went on to get a masters degree, a Doctor of Philosophy (PHD) abroad. You decided not to stay abroad in Canada. You came back to Kenya, you went to Moi University and not The University of Nairobi, which is the pioneer university. You went back to your people of Rift Valley. You went on to become a pioneering university administrator back there"
