    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following two Motions. COUNTRYWIDE CIVIC EDUCATION ON NEW DEVOLVED SYSTEM THAT, noting that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 fundamentally changed the architecture of government in the country; aware that many people in Kenya including elected leaders are not conversant with the new structure and especially the devolved system, the Senate urges the national executive to undertake comprehensive well- structured and systematic civic education countrywide on the new system so that the Kenyan people can understand and positively participate in its implementation. This Notice of Motion is given on behalf of Sen. Wako. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROHIBITION OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION ACT, 2011 I beg to give Notice of the second Motion given on behalf of Sen. Lesuuda. THAT, noting that Article 25 of the Constitution recognizes freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment as a fundamental right that may not be limited; also aware that Article 28 provides that every person has inherent dignity and the right to have that dignity respected and protected; further aware that the prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act, 2011 was aimed at prohibiting the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) to, among others, safeguard against violation of a person’s mental or physical integrity; concerned that the Act has not been fully operationalised, the Senate calls on the national executive, to take immediate measures to fully implement the prohibition of FGM Act, 2011 especially the creation and funding of the Anti-Female Genital Mutilation Board to lead and coordinate efforts against rights abuses, particularly of children."
