    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the issue of defilement and incest is quite rampant. I think the level of interrogation from this Report does not befit the level of the problem that we have. For example, I have looked at the figures, and on defilement, we have cases going up to 413 which are pending before the court and the nexus of this question was to ask what the Government is doing to actually ensure that such defilement is controlled and eradicated and that people are actually put in a position that it is punishable and they would not want to defile girls. If we still have such cases, for the case of Nakuru, there were 389 cases in only two counties for the girls who have been defiled vis-à-vis the rape and incest cases. The question is actually if the Sexual Offences Act is working. I do not think an accurate answer for that has been given from the report that has just been given to us. In terms of the strategies and the operations, these are the same strategies we have used year in, year out."
