    "content": "out of a sum of Kshs1.5 billion that has been allocated to the anti-FGM body, only a sum of Kshs100 million has been disbursed. How can we achieve this objective if funds are not flowing? We need to fight FGM the way we fought HIV/AIDS. The speakers before me made it very clear. This country was so focused when HIV/AIDS was a pandemic in this country. We spoke about it freely. Wherever we went, be it in schools, churches, mosques or in offices, we freely spoke about it candidly and we were there to support one another. Female Genital Mutilation needs to be given the same approach so that we can win this war. Without it, it will just be talk and we will never walk the talk. It is up to us leaders and especially, the men leadership, the women leaders having done their part already, to take this matter seriously. We have heard experiences here. We have heard from Hon. Millie and the medical doctors. They have shared with us the negative impacts of FGM. It is now up to the men to come out clearly in support of the fight against FGM. I heard Hon. Makau discuss the pleasure that is derived from the organ that Hon. Millie and other speakers mentioned. It is very difficult to satisfy a woman who has gone through the cut. That organ is the most sensitive part of a woman’s body. If it is chopped off, you will work; work, work and sweat, but you will never satisfy her."
