Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has pleaded with women to be courageous and make maximum use of their abilities.
He says that women wield so much power which can take them to greater heights if they capitalise on it.
“Women are so powerful that if they get sufficient platform, they can absolutely go places. However, they must be empowered to realise what they are capable of and as a leader, I want to tell women and young girls from North Rift and Kenya at large to keep the fire burning," said the Nandi Senator.
The senator was speaking in Eldoret on Friday afternoon when he attended a women empowerment forum hosted by Uasin Gishu Senator Prof Margaret Kamar.
The senator joined hands with a group of women senators to urge women to push for positions in society.
He added that women have the full ability to change the world around them.
The notion comes at a time when the two-thirds gender rule in Kenya seems to have been obliterated.
“I would like to thank the senators here for holding this event: I am fully willing to aid it creating a good environment for our women to fully showcase their potential”, added Senator Cherargei.
The main agenda of the day was empowering women to go for positions instead of waiting to be nominated.
