    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I also established a gender desk which is working overtime. I thank the police in Naivasha because they have been very positive about this. We are fathers and mothers of both boys and girls. We need to start from here. Fathers here and out there, please, take your boys with you wherever you go when it comes to family matters. Like Hon. Ndindi says, you will find that most teachers are female. When you leave boys to be raised by their mothers, eventually you will complain because mothers go to weddings, markets and many places. When these young boys eventually grow up, they do not want their mothers’ company, but they do not know any other life. Please, take them along with you because it is very important that they start learning masculine roles so that they can become better husbands who will not batter or insult their wives. This cuts across the board. We need to take our boys on board. We need to take the girls to their rightful position, and we need to advocate how bad gender-based violence is. We really need to take seriously. It is so serious that even when I am sitting in the office, the men shy away. You will see the mother complaining about an incidence, but the father will not. Fathers, please, take the boys along, as we take the girls along and then build a society that is responsive."
