    "content": "There have also been efforts to promote alternative rites of passage in many parts of our country, mainly in Meru, Kisii, Narok and Kajiado. There has been engagement with regional leaders to seek support to the end of the practice. Since the year 2009, through the Government efforts, council of elders from Meru, Islamic religious leaders and elders in Kuria and Kisii have shown public commitment to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) practice. The last question was the action being taken by the Government. One is the formation of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), who has formed a team to handle FGM related cases. We have sensitization on the law enforcement agencies on the provision of FGM based on the Female Genital Mutilation Act of 2011.There has been prosecution of law enforcement officers abetting or failing to report FGM cases. For example, in Kajiado a chief was arrested in the year 2014. From DPP is a long list of cases he has dealt with. I do not want to take a lot of time on this. I will request to table both documents at the end of my presentation for hon. Members to study. Thank you."
