    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to express my dissatisfaction with the Statement by the Committee. I had sought a Statement on increased cases of sexual violence against children in Kibwezi East Constituency. I have received general policies covering the whole country. I expected the Committee, through the Ministry, to give me detailed explanations on the issue of Kibwezi East Constituency and the area of Mtito Andei, as read out very well by the Vice-Chairperson as he captured the general information. The first question was on the guarantee of safety of the boy-child. I expected to be given detailed information on the status, together with the measures being taken with regard to the recent cases in Mtito Andei. On the second question, I was seeking information on the different stages of investigation. As much as the Committee has done a good job, they have just highlighted many cases. Out of the 14 cases of investigation, it is surprising that it is only in two cases where the accused is in remand. The rest are pending before court. The Committee has not stated which courts those are and who those were. They could just give a name. When highlighting the complainant, for instance, they say that he was a male who was 18 years old. Whose are these? They are names. There is a male complainant who is 18 years old. The accused is Mr. Christopher Muhinga who is a male adult aged 26 years whose case is pending before court. We do not have a person named Muhinga in Kibwezi East Constituency. Hon. Speaker, in my request in the Statement, I expected the cases to be narrowed down to Kibwezi East Constituency, and especially the area I cited which is Mtito wa Andei. I am sure that my constituents will feel better when the cases are explained by the Ministry as they had sent me as their representative."
