• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: On leadership, if we truly want to change the world, we need to have female leaders. This is still a big challenge in Kenya. There are very few women leaders globally and locally, and we need to improve on this. The proportion of women in parliaments globally is still very low.

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: representation. However, we are still struggling in Kenya. We are below average and hence we need to pull up our socks. We had two Bills on the Two-Thirds Gender Bill rule, which flopped. This needs to be worked on again and again so as to achieve it.

When they do, let them participate in legislation to ensure additional representation of women. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I noted that the challenges affecting women are of similar nature across the globe. They include sexual violence, discrimination, trafficking, modern day slavery, health, lack of opportunities in institutions and governance. This Report has, therefore, put a strong emphasis on social protection and the role of Parliament. Social protection guarantees a minimal standard for all. This includes the poor and disadvantaged women and men, boys and girls. view
