    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President's Speech. The President’s Speech was good and we are happy because most of the issues Kenyans face were addressed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you are one of the leaders who visited the President a day before he came to address the nation. The issue of gender-based violence is on the rise. Every day, we wake up to killing of women by men. It is unfortunate that the people who are killing us are the people we expect to give us leisure. We also contribute to their leisure so that they can enjoy the company of women. It is unfortunate that women are dying in the hands of the men that the women have entrusted their lives with. The President addressed this issue as we requested: that he should provide for desks in hospitals to address cases of gender-based violence. This is to ensure that when a woman is taken to the hospital, for example, she should be given P3 forms and the police should address that issue in the hospitals. The cases are rising in number at an alarming rate, and as women we are facing it. We are really terrified that every day as we wake up, we are not sure that we are going to get home safely. When you look at the issue of the three women ―a woman and her three daughters ― who were killed the other day in Eastleigh, it is really scary. Therefore, it is an issue that we cannot stand as women."
