    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You have been one of those male champions that we have seen for many years on issues of women. I appreciate my leader, Hon. Esther Passaris, for bringing this Motion at a time when the world is celebrating love. A love that has brought more darkness than we thought. A love that has removed the book of 1 Corinthians 13 from our faces and given us something else. We have robust laws in Kenya today. The framework on gender issues is there. On 27th January 2024, women and men came out to call upon the Government to come in and see what hit Kenya that we lost 10 women in January. There may be more because there are some whom we do not know whether their families have reported. More importantly, the worrying trend is that we have normalised gender-based violence in Kenya. We have made it a very normal issue. There is nothing as brutal as femicide. It is extreme. It is the worst violence any person can go through. When I look at the stories we are getting, it is not just in Kenya. A Kenyan who was in the United States of America decided to brutally kill his girlfriend, threw the body at the airport and took a plane to come back to Kenya. While in Kenya, Kang’ethe walks into police cells and comes out and says: “I just walked out.” Now you wonder: What just happened to Kenya? What happened to our security forces?
