    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this very important debate. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is a matter of the society and family, not just a women issue. It is a very important issue that is affecting our country at this point in time. I wish to thank the two honourable ladies who have contributed to this debate for bringing up this Motion. The debate is referred to as femicide. Femicide has a connotation of women being killed by men. Normal men will never hurt a woman. In fact, I want to categorically say that even mad men do not kill women. We have seen them all over and we have never seen them associated with killing a woman. I want to thank the media for bringing out the much that they have been able to. I want to ask them to do more than what they have done. We need some of these issues to be highlighted. We need statistics brought to the fore and cases mentioned specifically. Progress should also be posted so that we may see what is happening to some of those cases. We have seen cases where women are not only killed, but they are dismembered. That is not the end. They are also put in bags and thrown out. We have seen women being killed and their body parts such as heads going missing. We have seen some women being thrown out from windows like trash and some mistreated in this country. Yet, we have not seen reports from other countries which appears to depict Kenya as having this problem."
