    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my emotion to this Motion. At the outset, I congratulate Hon. 1Jessica Mbalu for bringing this timely Motion. It is true that we are living in interesting times – a time when gender-based violence has become the order of the day. As I speak, I have in mind what happened within Kirinyaga County just about a week and a half ago, where a woman was forcefully circumcised. We may say she was mutilated in the process by the husband, under the guise that she was too hot to handle. That woman comes from my constituency, but got married in Mwea Constituency. I think my friend, Hon. Kabinga wa Thayu, can confirm that. As we speak, that woman is admitted at a normal hospital – Karira Hospital. The family members approached me on Monday about the settling of the hospital bill. They are in fear because after the woman was mutilated and taken to hospital, the residents lynched the mother of the husband. The husband has been arrested. So, there is this question: Even when she is released from the hospital, where will she go? If there was a centre for rehabilitation and taking care of people in this kind of situation in Kirinyaga Central or Mwea, I believe we wound not be having that problem."
