• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for forgiving me this opportunity, first of all, to thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this very important Statement to recognize her colleague, and particularly, the contribution that the IPU has made not only to our Parliament, but also others in the world. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: I am informed - which information I believe to be true - that Sen. Kihika is leading a forum of Women parliamentarians from 174 Parliaments in the world. This is a great honour for this great Republic, considering that Sen. Susan Kihika is one of three women elected as Senators in the Parliament of Kenya since and before Independence. The honour bestowed on her to become the President of the Caucus for Women all over the world is a demonstration of the kind of leadership that this country has produced. For her to get this honour at a relatively young ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: It is important to note that this is also a demonstration of what can happen if all of us can believe in the leadership of women; that our women from Africa can lead. The female gender is marginalised all over the world, but the general stereotype is worse in countries like ours and Sub-Saharan Africa. It is, therefore, a good example that she got an opportunity to lead. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also congratulate the delegation that went to the IPU because of their commitment, passion and desire to learn. More often than not, people question why we travel for these important international conferences. It is because we also get an opportunity to lead and showcase the kind of leadership we have as a country. Secondly, we are able to exchange information that is useful for us to carry out our responsibilities as leaders from here. As peers all over the world, we have information that we can exchange. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: I believe that Sen. Kihika will come with that wealth of experience. I hope that in the four years that she will be the President of that Caucus, she will bring the Caucus of IPU women to Kenya and get to see where Nakuru, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Kwale counties are. They will also bring and exchange experiences and knowledge they have from different parts of the world with our people in this great Republic. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to tell Sen. Kihika that the opportunity she has now is a demonstration that she can rise higher. I hope that we will also get an opportunity to have a Motion, maybe tomorrow, to also congratulate the former Prime The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Minister, who has gotten a continental job. This may not be the right time to mention that, but when our people thrive in international positions, Kenya stands out. For example, we recognise Sen. Wako, who is also a leader in a global organisation under the United Nations (UN). We also have hon. (Dr.) Mukhisa Kituyi and others. In fact, the standing of Ghana, as a country in Africa and the world, is far much better because of the people like the late Kofi Annan, among others. One of my lecturers was also leading a very important department of the World ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: If you go to many international bodies - and Sen. Wako will tell you - you will meet many Ghanaians, who the late Kofi Annan, created opportunity and opened doors for their people. I believe that people like Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Sen. Susan Kihika, Sen. Amos Wako and the Rt. (Hon.) Raila Odinga, among others, will also open doors for Kenyans to participate in governance of the world, and thereafter, create jobs for young people. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Most of the international bodies, where many citizens of particular countries serve, have many other citizens of those countries serving also in junior positions, either as interns or employees of those institutions. That, therefore, improves the standing of their countries. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support that very important Statement. view
