    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that this is not a problem that can be solved by one Ministry. Indeed, even the Questioner asked what the Government is doing. My answer is actually on what the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife is doing together with other Ministries and departments, to fight this very big evil. As I speak, we have our senior staff, and some consultants in Nakuru, working on a revised tourism policy. They are also working on a Bill to be presented to this House, so that we can come up with the specific remedies to this big menace. So, very soon, we, as a Ministry, are going to present this document, so that it can be debated in this House, because we appreciate that this is a very serious issue. Meanwhile, our tourism offices which we have established in different parts of the country are working. We also have a police unit which works with the other Ministries, including the Ministry of Health. If we can prove together with the Ministry of Health and Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security that we have perpetrators of this heinous crime, then, definitely, the laws of the land will be used. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I should also remind this House that, recently, we passed the Sexual Offences Bill. It is one of the laws that we can use to bring these characters to book."
