"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 259D, I wish to make a Statement on the remarkable achievements of Kenya's National Women's Sevens rugby team, popularly known as the Lionesses’ in the recently concluded first and second round of the World Sevens Rugby Challenge (HSBC) Series, which were held in Cape Town in the Republic of South Africa on the 1st and 2nd of March 2025. Hon. Speaker, for many years, lovers of rugby have known the men's rugby team as one that has brought honour and glory to the country in rugby. It is, therefore, impressive that the Kenya women's rugby team has been steadily rising to stardom and bringing sporting glory to the country, as demonstrated in Cape Town during the just-concluded World Sevens Rugby HSBC Series. In the first-round final, Kenya triumphed over Argentina with a hard-fought 17- 12 victory. Further, in the second-round final, Kenya delivered a dominant performance, overwhelming the hosts South Africa with a convincing 17-0 win. Notably, this heroic performance marks the first time in history that our Lionesses have claimed victory in a rugby challenge series and won two consecutive tournaments. This is truly an exceptional performance by our women's rugby team, resulting from hard work, incredible resilience, determination and skill. Their achievements are even more commendable considering the numerous challenges that our women's rugby team continues to face, including financial constraints, resource limitations and limited visibility. As we know, Hon. Speaker, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "they visited Bunge, and we were able to provide them with food for one year. Those are some of the obstacles that could potentially hinder the sport's growth and advancement. The Lionesses have shown unwavering dedication by overcoming these to excel on a global stage. As we commend our women's rugby team for its spectacular performance, it is important to note that in the world of sports, women often face unique challenges and barriers, including unequal opportunities, gender-based discrimination and inadequate access to health care services. Therefore, as parliamentarians, we have a constitutional duty and a responsibility to address these issues head-on and ensure that our girls are empowered to thrive in their chosen sports disciplines without fear of discrimination or prejudice. In this regard, I wish to thank the stakeholders, such as Safaricom PLC, who have already come out strongly to support our Lionesses in overcoming some of these hindrances. I urge more organisations to consider supporting our women's rugby team and other disciplines featuring female sportspersons. Hon. Speaker, to our Lionesses, I say this: Continue to shine brightly on the rugby field, inspire the next generation of sportswomen, and never forget your worth and value as women. You are a role model and champion of change, and your contributions to our national pride are truly invaluable. Once again, I say, hongera kwenu na endeleeni kukaza mshipi. Asante Lionesses. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
