27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
From the outset, this is a Bill for our daughters, sisters and mothers. I will be proud once we pass it. Gender inequality remains a major barrier to human development in Kenya. Girls and women have, however, made major strides since 1990. They have not yet gained gender equity. The disadvantages facing women and girls are a major source of inequality. All too often, women and girls are discriminated against in health, education, political representation and the labour market with negative consequences for development of their capabilities and freedom of choice.

Hon. Speaker, the women who are our mothers, daughters and sisters should never be held down by the chains of poverty of economic, political and social marginalisation. We have to put an end to this. Once this Bill is passed, it will change the narrative, and break the chains and the iron bars on the gate of prison against women empowerment. Stand to be counted as a House which changes this narrative. We must do that today.

The passage of this Bill will tell the world our determination towards empowering our sisters, daughters and mothers to participate in elective positions. Great nations like Germany and United Kingdom (UK) are led by women. The Bill is therefore one great step towards building our own great nation. It embraces women participation and political leadership. Time is ripe for us to have our Theresa May and Angela Merkel.

Finally, the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2018 seeks to implement the provisions of Article 81(b) of the Constitution. As you may be aware, the Supreme Court of Kenya issued an Advisory Opinion, No. 2 of 2012, in 2012. It observed that the rights under Article 27(6) and (8) of the Constitution could only be fully realised using the legislative measures. This Bill is, indeed, the legislative mechanism upon which the two-thirds gender rule will be achieved and realised.
