    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I bow to the expertise of my two colleagues. That is why hon. Odhiambo-Mabona was involved in drawing of those regulations. However, I said, with due respect to my dear friend, hon. Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, that we do recognize the shortage of those who specialize in special violence, notwithstanding the fact that they are medical professionals. It is in that regard that we have recognized sexual violence as one of the trauma cases. We, in the Ministry, have isolated trauma as an area where we need focus and we are developing a programme with the University of Maryland, which has one of the best trauma centers in the world, to ensure that we cover the whole spectrum of trauma, including and up to spinal surgery, which is still not done in this country. This is a very serious subject. I agree with my friend. I was only stating facts as they are, nothing extenuate, to ensure that we are reading from the same page. Lacking specialties like Dr. Kamau, we decided that the best thing was to disseminate those guidelines to as many doctors as possible because women or children who are sexually violated will report to the nearest health facility and they will need to get people who know the guidelines and who can help, if only on a first aid basis."
