John Kiarie","speaker":{"id":13322,"legal_name":"John Kiarie Waweru","slug":"john-kiarie-waweru"},"content":"If we were taking a path towards zero cases of FGM, I believe we can draw a line and say that after drawing this line, we shall have a story told of a time when we were talking of FGM. Behavior change communication can be effectively used to effect change amongst our people. I believe that a path that was taken for the elimination of diseases like polio and reduction of numbers of people infected by HIV is one that can be taken by the Anti-FGM Board and could drastically change the trajectory of how that practice has been undertaken in this country. I believe that if we support this Report and further push for the adoption of the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2019, we shall be moving towards that direction. It has been an honour to contribute to this Report."}
