Support women leaders in energy, CS urgesPublic Service, Youth and Gender Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Margaret Kobia speaking during the inaugural Pink Energy Conference held at a Nairobi hotel on Thursday May 23. Speaking at the inaugural KenGen Pink Energy Conference in Nairobi yesterday, the CS noted that women are under-represented in science and technical fields. “Trends indicate a growing gender divide, and women are under-represented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and design. The potential for change remains in the far horizon as women are scarce in engineering and other technical fields,” Prof Kobia said. KenGen Managing Director Rebecca Miano added that the advancement of women was critical to business success.
