    "content": "It is very sad that as a leader you can allow such things to happen behind your back. Where was the Senator for Kilifi County? Where was the Woman Representative? Where were the leaders from Coast region, including Sen. Faki? I have seen the people alluding that the deaths that happened from 2017 were in the previous Government. It is this Government that has unearthed these grievous things that are happening. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge that religious organization need to be vetted. Madam Ida Odinga had made a comment about this in January 2022. I think she might be right to some extent when she said that we need to relook at the registration and the vetting of religious organizations in the country. That is the position of the Government, so that we can protect our people. Finally, I want to call upon the Kenya Film Classification Board to be on the lookout and flag content. These people are preaching in our televisions. I saw one telling his congregation to wave their phones and by the end of the week, they will get Kshs300,000. It is very unfair. We must flag these things. We need to have this conversation. Most of the gullible congregation are women. As we empower the girl child, we must talk to our women because these people are exploiting them. Some of them are telling them that if I touch you, you will be healed. When a woman goes and they have breast cancer, they might touch where the disease is. That is sexual violence and people are finding it convenient watching television and cheering. There was one preacher who told his congregants to sell everything and bring the proceeds to him. I condemn such, and I support this Motion. Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
