They will stitch it using thorns and put cigarette covering. The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) have been going through a case where somebody seeks to outlaw the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) act as unlawful because it promotes our culture. We had to go in camera in some of the cases, when women described to us what they are going through. There is absolutely no reason for women to go through that for whatever reason, whether it is cultural or religious. There is no religion that supports it. I used to use the Koran when I was practicing in the Kadhi courts and I read it a lot as part of our legal work. There is nothing that promotes that."
