    "content": "Hon. Temporary speaker, those young girls and the many other women who lost their lives died very painful deaths. It is very evident that they did not only die quietly, but they were butchered. They had their throats slit and heads severed from their body. We wonder whether the people who did this were normal or were under the influence of either drugs or completely intoxicated such that they could take away souls by severing the heads of people with whom they were going to make love. This society has lost it completely. When I grew up, I never witnessed a single person, man or woman, being killed by a lover. Here, we are talking about jealous, jilted lovers and many things that such young people think will end the suffering they are going through. I call upon the young men in our society and tell them that killing will not solve their problems, and that killing a woman is cowardice. Killing a woman is like wanting to end a generation. If all girls are killed, where will children come from? It is very painful. As we speak, a report done by the Nation Media Group dated 6th January 2024 - and this is data from the Moi University Teaching and Referral Hospital - shows that they receive 400 serious defilement and rape cases, majority of them being women aged 75 and girls as young as two months. As if that is not enough, the same report shows that in 2023, at least 152 women were killed, the highest in the past five years. Without mincing words, let me say that if the various security agencies do not take action and apprehend the evil people in our society, we are sitting on a time bomb. I also want to thank the security agencies and, more so, the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, because we cannot rush what they are doing…."
