For purposes of protecting her, kindly allow me not to mention her name. Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of the Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding defilement of a minor at Kiburu Village, Baricho Location in Kirinyaga County. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Kenya has enacted several laws and developed various policies to fight sexual offences. Despite the existence of many laws and policies prohibiting sexual offences in Kenya, there is still a sharp increase in sexual violence cases and the emergence of new forms of sexual violence which had not been addressed by the Sexual Offenses Act. On 20th February 2024, a case OB17/20/02/2024, was reported at Baricho Police The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

"content": "Station on defilement of a minor, 13 years by one, Mr. Alfred Chomba, who is the chief of Mukure Location. According to the report, the chief has been luring the minor, who is a grade seven pupil in Kiburu Primary School, to different lodgings by giving her some money and defiling her after school. When the chief learnt that the minor was pregnant, he approached her elder sister, persuaded her to keep the matter confidential and support procurement of an abortion, after which he would compensate her. However, the sister decided to report the matter to my office and at Baricho Police Station. Upon hearing the matter had been reported, the chief revenged by assaulting the sister who reported the matter on 21st February 2024."
