As I finish, I congratulate our President, who has opened his hands and accommodated everyone to ensure that the country is united and we move together. It is something that is giving us a lot of hope. I am now confident that Kenya is a united nation. Congratulations to our President. Continue with that same spirit. Please remember to pick more ladies for future appointments. Thank you."

I commit to put my best foot forward. Most importantly, may I extend my deepest appreciation to our two leaders – His Excellency President William Ruto and our party leader, His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga – for embracing the spirit of inclusivity. What we have in the Committee's leadership is the face of Kenya, which we call ‘inclusivity.’ Thank you very much. May God bless Kenya."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also congratulate those appointed to serve as Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons. I nevertheless have a lot of concerns about the disparity of gender in Parliament. Honestly, Hon. Speaker, if you look at the Departmental Committees, out of almost 20, we only have one led by Hon. Alice Ng'ang'a. We probably have two or three ladies in leadership in the Select Committees. You have just heard the Leader of the Majority Party say that the number of Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons in the House is almost 60. It is not fair. Honestly, it is not fair. In future, we should have at least 20 women Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons. We can even reconstitute the Committee leadership when we come back from recess. If we do so, this House will not have a problem of quorum. We frequently experience the problem of quorum because most of the Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons are men. They are always busy doing many deals out there. We, ladies, are always here on time. We are the ones who provide quorum most of the time. If you give us the opportunity today, we will serve this House more diligently and never have quorum issues."

Jematiah, it will appear that the Members who have been elevated to the positions of Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons were appointed and not elected. Ask more women to go for elective positions and make sure that they muscle the membership of the committees so that they are elected. They are not appointed.
