This morning, I participated in a High-Level Leaders Breakfast Meeting at the Nairobi Serena Hotel, convened by the Office of the Women Rights Advisor to the President, led by @ChiggaiCS. The forum was centred on the vital theme of 'Championing Women's Empowerment Partnership for a Bold and Inclusive Future,' setting the stage for a crucial dialogue on gender equality. In my address, I emphasized the fundamental connection between land rights and women's empowerment. I articulated that land is far more than a mere physical asset; it is a foundational source of identity, economic security, social status, livelihood, and human dignity. It is for these profound reasons that securing women's right to own land is an absolute necessity. To turn this principle into reality, I issued a call to action for robust partnerships across key institutions. I urged for collaborative efforts between Parliament, various government ministries, civil society organizations, and development partners to actively prioritize and advance women's empowerment in all matters pertaining to land. The significant event was honoured by the presence of Chief Guest @AmbMonicaJuma - the National Security Advisor to the President, alongside numerous other distinguished women leaders. Their attendance underscored a shared and high-level commitment to this critical agenda. @StateHouseKenya @WilliamsRuto @NLC_Kenya @NaomiWaqo @KDICkenya @TourismFund @Kenyajudiciary @CJMarthaKoome
