    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to support the adoption of this Report. I stand here as the Women Representative of Trans Nzoia County to articulate issues to do with women. This Motion touches on us directly. Our women and girls have really suffered under the hands of foreigners, and even men here in Kenya. I support this Motion because despite measures having been put in place to support our girls in case their marriages break, our girls are still struggling. This is because most of those relationships last for a short period, then the girls are left to continue struggling alone or go to courts to complain that their children are not being supported. I also have a case of one girl who has really suffered because she has two children with a white man from Italy. Currently, the girl is struggling alone. The children are in primary school and it is difficult for some of us to support them because we are not supposed to give bursaries to primary school students. We only give to secondary school students. I support this Motion because our children are really suffering in the hands of foreigners. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
