Hon. Speaker, on behalf of Kenya Women Parliamentarians Association (KEWOPA), of which I am the Vice-Chairperson, and on behalf of the women of Kenya at large, I wish to congratulate Her Excellency Hon. Samia Suluhu Hassan on her swearing-in as the first female President and as the sixth President of the United Republic of Tanzania. Indeed, she is a great source of inspiration and is flying the flag high on behalf of female leaders all over Africa and the world, where women make up only about 5.9 per cent of Heads of State. President Samia is currently the only woman ...

the Cabinet, where we have seven out of 22 Cabinet Secretaries being female, and in the Judiciary, where we have a woman serving as the Deputy Chief Justice, and another in the Supreme Court and about 50 per cent of Judges of the High Court being women. Just recently, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) nominated Hon. Lady Justice Martha Koome as Kenya’s next Chief Justice which, if approved, will see one arm of Government led by a woman.

(Kisumu (CWR), ODM): Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. A lot has been said about how this Bill will bring controls. I would like to bring out the aspect that comes in defence of the owners of the gaming industry.
