    "content": "My apologies, Madam Temporary Speaker. So, Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you so much for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank Sen. Oketch Gicheru for bringing up this Motion. I want to take this opportunity and condemn the abductions and the femicide murders that are happening in this country. It is sad that we have security in place and that we seem to be helpless; it looks like we are helpless when murders of our young girls are happening in this country. I want to take this opportunity to send my sincere condolences to all the families, and the parents that have lost their loved ones. I know how painful it is, especially losing a young person whose future was very bright because you can look at all these children who are all in their universities, and they look very bright children. We want to ask our security to save us from the torture that the parents and the families are going through. Even the process of finding, justice for those children is torture. Why would we, as a country, just sit there so helplessly and allow such crimes to happen in our own country when we can arrest such heinous murders? Mine is to urge our Government, the one that we elected with a lot of love, to ensure that they look and see what is not happening in our security system. If we have the wrong people in the security system, remove them. There is no way we can allow parents; we have seen them on national television. We have seen the murders that have happened in this country. I look at them, and I feel for them and wonder. Even the process for them even to try and start looking for the justice for their children is painful. How it tortures somebody. We can only pray to God to give them strength so that they can be able to fight for their justice. Even in the courts; trying to go to the courts to look the justice is the most tedious process that a parent can go through or a family member can be taken through. How can it be prevented? I do not think there is much that we, as Senators, can ask about how it can be prevented. We can all sit down now here and watch when such murders are happening to our children and we just continue allowing this.
