"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My statement is on transition of leadership in the Kenya Women Senators Association (KEWOSA). Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, Sen. Hamida Kibwana and Sen. Maureen Tabitha Mutinda, the former Chairperson and Vice-chairperson of the KEWOSA, rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement on the transition of leadership in KEWOSA and to formally acknowledge the election of a new leadership team. We begin by expressing our heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Chairperson, Sen. Veronica Maina, and the Vice-chairperson, Sen. Hezena Lemaletian and the entire new leadership team of KEWOSA. Their election is a testament of the confidence their peers have in their capacity to steer the critical Association forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the outgoing leadership of KEWOSA, it has been our singular honour and privilege to lead KEWOSA during a season of purpose engagement, bold advocacy and impactful service. During our tenure, we championed initiatives that placed the lived realities of women and girls at the heart of our legislative and policy agenda. Under our leadership, KEWOSA undertook several key initiatives and achieved significant milestones, including- (1) Launched a programme to support women petty offenders, many of whom were held in remand facilities simply because they could not afford bail or fines. Through partnerships with the civil society and legal aid providers, we helped secure, release and reintegrate these women back into society with dignity. (2) We mentored and worked alongside women leaders, particularly women Members of County Assemblies (MCAs), through leadership development forums and capacity building engagements to strengthen their legislative, oversight and representation roles at the county level. (3) Advocated for allocations, ensuring that the voices of women, especially those at the grassroots, were considered in national debates around health, economic empowerment and social justice. (4) Built strong partnerships with local and international institutions, including the African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs, (ACEPA), the International Research and Exchange Board (IREX), the Centre for Multi-Party Democracy (CMD) and the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS), as with Tetra Tech International Development (TTID) and the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (USIDSS) through the Reducing Insecurity and Violent Extremism in the Northern and Coastal Regions of Kenya (Reinvent) Programme. Mr. Speaker, Sir, KEWOSA has established bilateral relations with parliaments and institutions in various countries, among them The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Azerbaijan. These nations have expressed willingness to support KEWOSA in achieving its core objectives and mobilising resources for women leaders intending to vie for election posts. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services, Senate."

"content": "Additionally, KEWOSA has forged strategic partnerships with organisations such as Echo Network Africa, which implements targeted interventions to support girls and women, with a special focus on young women, women with disabilities and those from marginalised communities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these collaborations have been instrumental in expanding the reach and impact of KEWOSA's programmes and in enhancing gender-responsive governance across the country. They have also enabled KEWOSA to implement impactful capacity-building programmes, community outreach initiatives and cross-sectoral dialogues aimed at advancing gender equity and inclusive governance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, while we now serve in the capacities of chairperson emeritus and the vice-chairperson emeritus, our commitment to the ideals and aspirations of KEWOSA remain steadfast. We pledge to support KEWOSA’s new leadership and to continue championing the cause of gender equality, women’s empowerment and inclusive governance. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
