    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. I would, first, like to thank and congratulate the Kericho Woman Representative, Hon. Beatrice Kemei, for requesting for an inquiry into this matter, which has brought a lot of concern and became a national issue. As many have said, this must have been something that had been going on for many years. The BBC brought it out and Hon. Beatrice Kemei brought it to this House. The Committee, led by the Chairperson, Hon. Eric Karemba, got into the gist of what was going on, made it a national matter and now it is being discussed in this House. I would like to echo what my colleagues have said that it would be very unfortunate if this matter ends here. It would be unfortunate if we just debated it and yet, there is no justice for those women and their families. We would be acting in futility. It is only after the DCI that has been greatly mentioned in this Report takes action and conducts proper investigations that this debate, the resources and efforts that have been put into conducting investigations will bear fruit. We have to ask ourselves why women, men or boys who are harassed do not report those issues. There is always the issue of placing the burden on the victim. Even now as we talk about issues of women who are being exposed on social media, already the women are down and we are putting the blame on them and telling them what they should or should not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
