    "content": "Deputy Speaker of the Senate. She joins women in the world who have smashed the glass ceiling by proving that what men can do, women can do better. She is among the three Senators who stood for election, competed against men in their counties and triumphed over them. She has proved that she is an astute politician. We can see that she has gotten the confidence of the 67 of us on her way to becoming our Deputy Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 2006, Hon. Nancy Pelosi was elected the first woman Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States of America (USA). She was also elected Speaker of Congress. Because of the way she proved herself, and having taken some leave from that seat, she was re-elected by Democrats to lead the House of Representatives last year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no doubt that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar will leave a mark in her position of the Deputy Speaker. I am a father of two daughters. It is gratifying when we see that somebody of that gender can rise to the position of professor, join politics, compete against men, win and come to this House where the majority are men and win the confidence of all of us to occupy that position. Our daughters look up to her for inspiration and hope that they have space in leadership in this country. Congratulations! I wish her all the best in her new position as our Deputy Speaker."
