    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It is, indeed, difficult to discuss such a topic. Something is dreadfully amiss in our society. I was forced to think that sometimes some people are badly cultured. Apart from being badly cultured, they have some criminal agents in their minds. How can anybody start thinking of killing somebody? Is it for the dislike of that gender or they just hate them? That is just criminal. I stand here as a mother of twins - all girls - and an auntie to various nieces, girlfriend to various women Members of Parliament here and those I schooled with. I look at every woman with a lot of adoration and thank God for coming up with women in this world. Women run the world. If we scare them, we walk every day knowing that we are insecure. Sometimes, I even wonder whether the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and all the agents of security in this country are awake. Do those people have daughters? We keep reading as if it is a story book and yet, it is not. It is, indeed, happening in our country. We have to stump down and bring out all the perpetrators. Let them be behind bars and something serious to take place. We have heard that some of them have been arrested at the airport while they were running away. Some, if they are arrested, must be having friends or cartels or the people they do this business with. Why target the girls? It is not even good to target anybody. There is nothing that can justify anyone being killed. I have been reading some comments where some people call girls slay queens who are too much. You can never justify why somebody was killed. I can never say that somebody was killed because… I can never. I bleed and cry with every family that has lost their daughter in that manner, and I do not want to allow any tolerance of any manner. Our Government must wake up and do everything in a speed that is acceptable because the deliberate killing of women has been happening. We read in newspapers like it is just another day that it happens and we look for the same story the next day and ignore. It is time that everybody, whether a man or a woman, said no to femicide. If you do not do it, it will be knocking on your door the next day. That is when you will understand why it is not okay to allow such kind of criminal actions. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
