    "content": "That read together with the Anti-FGM law 2010 tells us that we have come from that age where this archaic and outdated practice must come to an end. So, even as we talk about the passion to save our girls which I really associate with, we must also put in place checks and balances and also ensure that we have programmes that support the Anti-FGM Board. I have listened to a conversation here regarding married women and I got shocked just like every other Kenyan should get shocked. Some women in those communities that practice this cultural behaviour get married and then while they are within their matrimonial homes, they undergo the same ritual. That tells you that unless it is the men who are forcing them, they need civic education. In fact, I dare suggest that this conversation should even be taken to schools and be taught to our children. Even those who are in adult classrooms should be taught the dangers of undergoing FGM so that as a nation, we appear serious and focused, and that we really want to deal with this bad practice once and for all. So, as I sit down, I again thank Members and remind them that we need the budget."
