"content": "Yes, I am just asking the Leader of the Majority Party to take note that our laws are not being implemented as they ought to be, and we want to know which direction the Government is taking to make sure that other measures that have been employed, like the alternative rites of passage, work. I do not think we need an alternative to FGM. It is criminal and we should not try to sugarcoat it, and make it look like we need to substitute something else for it. It should be outlawed and outlawed completely; we should rein in NGOs that are cashing in on the fight against FGM in ways that are not working for the communities. It is a socialisation process. It is a social problem and we should invest heavily in sensitising our communities and discourage them from engaging in the practice."
